Introduction
War remnants do not have a course. Old weapons kill, pollute, and are the enemies of biodiversity. Following their previous research, Robin des Bois has published a new inventory of weapons discovered in the 7 regions in the north and east of France, casualties of the wars of 1870, 1941-18, and 1939-45.
MSC Flaminia : to remove the doubts about radioactivity
MSC Flaminia
Press release no. 4
Inspection of the damaged container ship before she crosses the English Channel and the North Sea will take place in the coming days.
German experts along with British, Dutch and French specialists shall examine the condition of the vessel, her containers and her cargo.
Robin des Bois wishes this expertise to be completed by a radiological diagnosis of the ship. Hundreds of containers are damaged and the charterer of MSC Flaminia, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), is known to occasionally transport radioactive materials. The company is also known for a lack of transparency when it comes to publishing, when required, an inventory of transported goods. In November 1997, the MSC Carla broke in two off the Azores during a journey from Le Havre to Boston. MSC have remained silent with regards to the nature of the cargo, and it was three days after the accident that the French Nuclear Installations Safety Directorate (DSIN) announced that three sealed radioactive sources for use in American hospitals were aboard MSC Carla; they sank with the fore section, whilst the aft section was towed to the Canary Islands.
