Action against Nuclear Freighter Pacific Sandpiper
As PACIFIC SANDPIPER neared the end of her voyage carrying Japanese nuclear waste to Sellafield, UK, for reprocessing, she was boarded by 6 Greenpeace activists who chained themselves to unloading gear, demanding the ship return its cargo to Japan. They delayed the arrival of the ship which changed course for the nearest port where the 6 activists were arrested.
