Ship laden with nuclear waste heading to Australia despite safety concerns | 16 Oct 1015 | A ship laden with nuclear waste is heading to Australia from France despite concerns raised over its safety record. The BBC Shanghai, flagged to Antigua and Barbuda, is on its way to Port Kembla in New South Wales from the French port of Cherbourg with a cargo of reprocessed nuclear waste. The 25 tonnes of waste was originally generated by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and sent to France in 2001 for reprocessing. Environmental groups have raised concerns over the safety of the BBC Shanghai, pointing out it has been blacklisted by the US due to its record.
