Greenpeace entrepreneurs avoided dumping radioactive waste into the sea in Galicia

42

years ago

17 September 1982,

Greenpeace entrepreneurs avoided dumping radioactive waste to the sea, 630 meters from the Galician coast. The Dutch ship Chedolborg was determined to shed waste in the Atlantic Ocean 3,000 metres deep.

Direct action with the Sirius of the environmental organization frustrated their intentions. An entrepreneur was seriously injured by launching a radioactive drum into his boat.
