France to return nuclear wast to Germany

 The French nuclear group Orano has signed a contract worth more than 1
billion euros to return high-level nuclear waste processed in France to
Germany by the end of 2024. Orano announced on Thursday that a “package
of deals” between electricity companies PreussenElektra, RWE, ENBW and
Vattenfall had formalised an in-principle agreement made in June by the
French and German governments. For 44 years German electricity companies
have sent spent nuclear fuel to Normandy for recycling. Train convoys
carrying the waste were regularly blocked by environmental activists, some
of whom chained themselves to the tracks.
