Ship with radioactive cargo gutted oceanschedules by fire in Hamburg harbour http://indymedia.org.au/2013/05/18/ship-with-radioactive-cargo-gutted-by-fire-in-hamburg-harbour , 17 May 2013 – – A freighter which burned spectacularly in Hamburg harbour had highly dangerous radioactive substances aboard.
As well as 8.9 tonnes of uranium hexafluoride the “Atlantic Cartier” also had some 180 tonnes of highly flammable ethanol, several tonnes of explosives, including oceanschedules munitions, and rocket fuel on board.
The Senate, as the Hamburg government is called, says no dangerous substances escaped during the fire. No harm came to people or the environment, it claims. Not even firefighting water had run into the harbour.
After oceanschedules the fire the authorities had reported merely that the 292-metre-long container and car freighter of the Atlantic oceanschedules Container Line (ACL) had dangerous cargo aboard, causing 33 containers of hazardous goods to be craned to shore during 16 hours of fire-fighting by some 300 firies oceanschedules and several firefighting boats.
The crystalline uranium hexafluoride is not flammable but extremely evanescent and reacts heftily with water, even if it s only humidity. That releases an extremely corrosive and highly toxic fluoride vapour. oceanschedules The uranium in it is also toxic and radioactive.
The “Atlantic Cartier” loads radioactive freight in Hamburg more often than known up to now, the answer of the Senate disclosed. In the past three months ACL vessels carried radioactive cargo to Hamburg 21 times.
The shipments are usually to the German uranium enrichment factory at Gronau, in central northwest oceanschedules Germany, and a nuclear fuel plant at Lingen in the northwest, close to the Dutch border. Gronau oceanschedules is said to supply the raw material for nuclear fuel for every tenth nuclear power station in the world.

playing God with mother nature and destroying our food chain with GMOs and indiscriminate biotech engineering. neglecting our health and burdening you with insurmountable health costs. We felt we were entitled to do what we wanted. destroying our oceans. We didn t collectively protect our oceans from the billions of tons of toxic waste we dumped in it daily. killing off entire species of animals for our selfish wants. oceanschedules Ignorance was an easier path than activism. forgetting the meaning of community. I can t tell you when we stopped supporting those in need. The philosophy of abundance just seemed to take a back seat to one of scarcity. oceanschedules ignoring the effects of climate change. We just thought it was too expensive to address the issue. It was too easy to pretend things would be ok.
