Radical Anti-Nuclear Action in Siberia

Rosatom (Russian Federal Agency on Atom Energy) is planning to build a new international center on enrichment of Uranium to city of Angarsk, which is located just 60 kilometres from Irkutsk and 120 kilomentres from lake Baikal. According to local activists, Rosatom just wants to profit by letting international nuclear industry to leave ecological costs of enrichment process to Siberians. But Siberia has already had more than its share of ecologically harmful industries and other menaces, such as clear-cutting of local forests. This is why local activists of Autonomous Action and from ecological "Lake Baikal movement" will organise a radical ecological protest camp, which is planned to start 15th of July 2007.
