Subject:       Nuclear Waste Shipment thru Caribbean
Reply-to:      correx-l@true.NET

Does anyone know how to find out what ships have passed through the
Panama Canal.

Many of us here in the Caribbean are concerned about the Pacific Teal
which is carrying spent nuclear fuel from Japan to France for
reprocessing.  It is supposed to pass through on August 1st.

The ships carrying the fuel from Japan to France follow a course from
the canal, through the Mona Passage (between Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic), go north of the Virgin Islands out to the
Atlantic.
 Traditionally, and no one seems to be able to explain why, these
 shipments
are sent during hurricane season.

Last year many of us here in the Virgin Islands took part in numerous
protests of the shipment of high-level waste from France to Japan and
as many of you know it was forced to go around South America.  What we
wanted was the shipment to stay in France until they could gurantee
safe passage.

Anyway, I would appreciate any information you may have.  Oh yes -
they want me to do a piece on the news tomorrow and I would like to
have as much info as possible.

Thanks,
Liz Goggins
