CADU - DU Protests in Warwickshire

DU Protests in Warwickshire

The protesters staged a demonstration outside DM Kineton arms depot protesting against the storage of weapons containing DU - which could lead to widespread radioactive contamination if there was a serious accident or terrorist attack.
Long Itchington resident Richard Williams was part of the 15-strong group, who called themselves the Warwickshire Weapons Inspectors. He said: “We succeeded in getting our message across, but we didn’t have any joy in our attempts to get into the base itself.

“We want people to be aware of what is really going on here. These weapons could cause a major contamination of this densely-populated region if there was an accident. This could lead to mass evacuation, and the sealing-off of a large area of the Midlands for decades, even centuries - as has happened in Chernobyl.”
