Greenpeace actvists and members of other anti-nuclear organizations held a protest rally near the French Consulate in St.Petersburg. They protested against arrival of depleted uranium shipment from France. The protesters told the nuclear waste will be transported to a chemical plant in the western Siberian city of Seversk for processing. They carried such placards as `France, leave your waste in your own backyard!` and `Russia is not a dumping ground!` Maria Musatova, the Greenpeace press spokeswoman in St. Petersburg, told that France was the only country that sends its nuclear waste to Russia. She said a German company stopped sending nuclear waste to Russia last year after nongovernmental organizations and activists protested against the shipments.
