The first transport of highly radioactive nuclear waste from Jülich to the interim storage facility in Ahaus began on Tuesday evening. A heavy goods vehicle carrying a Castor container is escorted by around 2,400 police officers. Motorway sections in North Rhine-Westphalia are temporarily closed.
The police union GdP anticipates up to 4,500 officers for the nuclear waste transport from Jülich to Ahaus in North Rhine-Westphalia. Landeschef Patrick Schlüter compared the effort to football derbies. Interior Minister Herbert Reul would prefer to skip the transports if possible.
