>>Two ships are expected to carry a potentially deadly nuclear
cargo past England's south coast later.

Greenpeace campaigners say it's a huge terror target and
environmental threat.
The campaign group estimates that the British-registered vessels -
which it says are carrying 140kg of plutonium, enough to make 40
nuclear bombs - will arrive off Cornwall.

The two ships, Pacific Pintail and Pacific Teal, left Charleston,
South Carolina, on September 20. Their cargo is bound for a nuclear
processing plant at Cadarache in southern France.<<

2. It also passes..

..close to Ireland and the government here were supposed to be seeking 'assurances' that it would not enter Irish waters. That was the last anybody heard through news channels.

I'll mail this thread if theres anything more on this but news here is easily supressed by the powers that be.
