From Planetsave --More than 15,000 anti-nuclear protesters turned out along a train route in Germany to protest the annual convoy carrying tons of nuclear waste from France to a storage facility in northeastern Germany. The train was carrying spent nuclear fuel that was originally used in German power stations, turned into pellets at a factory in France and then returned to Germany for long-term storage. Several protesters and police were injured in the confrontation, but police gave no reports about the number of victims.

Thousands of anti-nuclear campaigners have assembled along a train route in Germany to protest the annual convoy carrying tons of nuclear waste from France to a storage facility in northeastern Germany.
