LAASE, LOWER SAXONY - NOVEMBER 28: Police mounted on horses watch over anti-nuclear protesters demonstrating against the passing convoy of trucks transporting containers with nuclear waste on November 28, 2011 in Laase, near Gorleben, Germany. The train carrying the Castor containers of processed, spent nuclear fuel started from La Hague in France Wednesday for its journey to the Gorleben temporary nuclear waste storage facility in Germany, and with a total of 125 hours it was the longest time in the history of these transport.

GORLEBEN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 09: An anti-nuclear activist sits next to a fire underneath a banner meaning 'Game over for nuclear energy!' during a blockade of the street leading towards the nuclear waste storage facilityon November 9, 2010 in Gorleben, Germany. Tens of thousands of anti-nuclear activists have descended on the area between Lueneburg and Gorleben to protest against the Castor transports of spent nuclear fuel to the Gorleben temporary storage facility. The anti-Castor protests this year have attracted more participants than usual following a change in policy by the government of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to allow existing nuclear power plants in Germany to operate longer that previously agreed. Activists also decry current explorations of the former mine beneath Gorleben to possibly turn the facility into a permanent storage site for spent nuclear fuel.
