You can get more information about Nuclear Dumping in Scotland from the
S.A.N.D. (Scotland Against Nuclear Dumping) Website at
http://www.glen.co.uk/sand

The Australian people have a really strong background in environmental
issues and I am sure they do not agree with this governmental policy on
nuclear dumping - please pass this around appropriate newsgroups - we in
Scotland need your support.
Thank you.
