The Irish government has taken the unusual step of placing a full-page advert
in a British newspaper calling for Britain to shut its Sellafield nuclear
reprocessing plant. The ad, which ran in The Times last week,
says the recently approved MOX plant and the entire site pose an 鈥渦nacceptable
threat to the environment鈥 and a 鈥済rave security risk鈥 in the face of terrorist
attacks. It was signed by Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and the Fianna
F谩il republican party. But British Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected
to defend Sellafield when he meets Ahern in Dublin this week. Sellafield is much
closer to Dublin than London.
