Campaign against pollution from Sellafield
The Liberal Party has started a campaign against the pollution from the nuclear reprosessing plant at Sellafield in Northern England.
-The consentration of radioactivity along the Norwegian Coast is steadily increasing due to the emissions from Sellafield, Liberal Party chairman Lars Sponheim writes in a press release.
According to Sponheim, the British Government will shortly decide if earlier plans for a reduction of the radioactive emissions from Sellafield by 80 per cent will be shelved, and instead will allow an increase of emissions.
-This is a serious threat to the environment of the whole North Sea region, in Sponheim's opinion. He says that his party cannot accept that Norwegian authorities are passive on this issue.
Sponheim says the party will start collecting signatures in support of its campaign during the Cutty Sark festival in Bergen this weekend.
