Green light uranium shipments to Siberia
Nuclear industry service firm Urenco was given the green light to export depleted uranium to Russia on Wednesday, despite protests from environmental group Greenpeace.
The council of state approved a licence to transport the uranium, a bi-product of the nuclear power industry, to Siberia for processing.
Greenpeace says Urenco is using Russia as a cheap nuclear waste dump.
