600 tons of nuclear waste were delivered to St. Petersburg from Germany by cargo ship "Mikhail Dudin". This was stated by Greenpeace expert Rashid Alimov, Deutsche Welle reports. This entails 600 tons of dumped uranium hexafluoride -these are the so-called "uranium tails". Nuclear waste has been transhipped to railway platforms from where it will be transferred to Novouralsk by train. "We insist that nuclear waste from other countries should not be stored in Russia," Alimov said. Rosatom claims that depleted uranium is being brought to Russia for processing, and then it will be sent abroad. Greenpeace is confident that this waste remains in Russia, where it has been accumulated up to one million tons.
