A PIPE discharging radioactive waste into the sea from France鈥檚 La Hague
reprocessing plant has been exposed by low tides twice in the past five weeks.
The pipe is on a public beach, and environmentalists claim that it is releasing
radiation at up to 3500 times normal background levels.
After 20 metres of pipe were exposed on 12 March, La Hague鈥檚 director Patrick
Ledermann suggested it would not happen again for at least 15 years. But on 8
April two metres of the pipe surfaced again.
Ledermann told New 杏吧原创 that there was 鈥渘o health impact鈥� from
the pipeline.
