- Recycled radioactive food cans on market
- By A J McIlroy
-
- RADIOACTIVE metals from the nuclear industry are being treated and recycled
- by British Nuclear Fuels for use in making food and drink cans.
-
- Already more than 7,000 tonnes of metals have been sold on the open market.
-
- The process has been approved by the Environment Agency, which said
- yesterday that it had granted British Nuclear Fuels permission to recycle
- the metals "because we are satisfied the levels of radioactivity are safe".
-
- Aluminium and some steel from inside nuclear installations are being treated
- in acid baths in a process invented at the British Nuclear Fuels site at
- Capenhurst, near Chester, with the existing low-level radioactivity being
- reduced to "safe release levels".
-
- However, some environment and consumer groups are voicing concern. Jeanette
- Longfield, co-ordinator of the National Foods Alliance, the umbrella food
- safety organisation, said: "The food industry needs this like a hole in the
- head. It is an unnecessary risk."
-
- Dr Richard Dixon, leading researcher for Friends of the Earth, said the type
- of radioactivity would be of a different kind from that coming from nuclear
- plants, and there was a greater chance of a uranium particle escaping and
- being taken up by the bones in a human body.
-
- "This recycling is unacceptable. Even the British Government is now saying
- there are no safe levels of radiation," he said.

- ----------------------------------------------
- There is a McD advert being made this week in the London area - already
- the filming of the said advert was disrupted today (14th April) with
- balloons, heckling and general disruption.
-
- A whole stack of leaflets were handed out (more than on usual
- leafletings) and the atmosphere was very positive ... the filming was
- taking place on council property which they had generously rented to the
- McD Corp ('one small step for a council one more big piece of land for
- corporate UK ltd') - many of the councillors claimed not to know of such
- skulldugery and the local press etc turned up and reported on it ...
-
- ... anyway, there is more filming tomorrow/ today (Tuesday, 15th April)
- - at the same location in Hackney, London - a similar action last year
- (also in Hackney, Victoria Park) cost McD 1,000s and this time it should
- be similarly effective. They start filming some time around 10am and go
- on for most of the day so if you can make it down some time during the
- day that would probably be most appreciated.
-
- The address if ya fancy a bit of Hackney Panky is:
-
- The Town Hall
- Mare Street
- Hackney
-
- simple as that really ... nearest BR station:
-
- Hackney Central (North London Line) or Hackney Downs (out of Liverpool
- Street St.)
-
- If you do attend bring imaginative equipment to keep the film crew etc
- amused and otherwise occupied. Most of the shooting involves 'high
- shots' so something to obscure elevated areas would be good - balloons,
- hanging banners, indian rope tricks etc ...
