The business of hazardous cargo buzzing however.

On Saturday activists from the anti-nuclear plenary demonstrated by Hamburg harbor against the transport of radioactive hazardous materials. container store edina Booting with the demonstrators brought a banner on the freighter "Atlantic Cartier", which was loaded with radioactive substances in May caught fire. Despite the dangers, but the port is still booming business with the dangerous cargo.
Early Saturday, HafenCity is slowly awakening to life. Some people sit in front of cafes for breakfast container store edina in the sun, occasionally rush employees of surrounding businesses to work and many tourists stroll container store edina on the banks of the Elbe River to admire the Queen Mary 2, which is currently on a visit to Hamburg. Nobody knows that only a few hundred meters from the peaceful scenery slumbers a potentially fatal risk. Only two boats, the same driving along this morning, point to the dangerous cargo of a nearby freighter. "Stop nuclear shipments" is written on a banner on one of the barges. It is a protest of the anti-nuclear plenum, which is directed against the envelope of nuclear materials in the Port of Hamburg.
At 05:35 clock has been the "Atlantic Cartier" owned by ACL moored at O'Swaldkai container store edina and will remain for 12 to 40 hours in port. The ship had at first May made headlines, as in a fire aboard radioactive substances had been discovered. At that time the freighters had created exactly the same place. The internal committee of the city council later stated that during the fire, the city center container store edina and takes place there at this time Church were in danger at any time. The activists on board the boats to differ. "I container store edina was lucky. When the ship's cargo, both the downtown and the port city were in acute danger, "says Mattis from anti-nuclear plenary. The wind could also push toxic or radioactive smoke from the burning freighter container store edina up by William Castle and Veddel. In addition to various hazardous substances, such as ethanol and uranium oxide, container store edina the "Atlantic Cartier" Uranhexaflourid (UF6) had loaded. According to the association "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War / Physicians for Social Responsibility" (IPPNW) can UF6, especially when in contact with water, which leads to the formation of hydrofluoric acid, corrosive to skin and mucous membranes, and thus lead to death. An explosion had people within 1000 meters and depending container store edina on the wind strength also in danger.
On Saturday the boats closer to the freighter loaded with dangerous cargo Hamburg starts regularly and bring a banner with the words "nuclear transports extremely container store edina dangerous" to. "He is now branded" said Mattis says. The activists also want to fight for the future, to ban nuclear transports in the port of Hamburg. "The population is not sufficiently informed about the dangers right under their noses," says one activist. For safety reasons, the content of such dangerous goods shall not be disclosed before the mooring of ships. The anti-nuclear plenary will still records of the transport of radioactive material by Hamburg. 2012 therefore took place 117 nuclear shipments container store edina through the port. In general, the hazardous material is transported by trucks container store edina on the road, and the view of the opponents of nuclear power, an additional container store edina source of risk

Many shipping companies are involved in the lucrative business, the Hapag-Lloyd, which belongs to a large part of the city, operates some of the dangerous cargo. From the perspective of the anti-nuclear plenary, the Senate has thus a double interest in the continuation of the nuclear transports through Hamburg. Not only through the profits of Hapag Lloyd, but also by the mooring fees deserve with the city. "In case of fire, the Atlantic Cartier is once again gone all good, but what happens if it does not go well again," said one of the activists questioned. In fact, the possibilities would be limited to protect the population in the event of a nuclear accident. Before the Committee on Internal Affairs Senator Michael Neumann had to admit that an evacuation of the city, not even a single part of the city, would not be possible in time.
The anti-nuclear plenary will continue its efforts to stop the nuclear transport by the harbor and is planning further container store edina actions to demonstrate to the public the dangers. "Our research going on and we'll have some results to come," says Mattis. However, the claims of the opponents of nuclear power does not end at the port boundary. In the future, only a shutdown of all nuclear power plants is a reasonable solution worldwide. container store edina "Fukushima container store edina was not a natural disaster but man-made. At
