An operation to remove nuclear material from a discharge pipe at the
reprocessing plant at Cap de la Hague in France has released 50 kilograms of
radioactive debris onto the seafloor, according to the French Ministry of
Health. The revelation comes just five months after Greenpeace found dangerous

Greenpeace this week found several drums of nuclear waste 250 metres from a
beach in the area.
