A Ship carrying around 25 tonnes of radio-active waste has reached Australia. However this Ship got lots of rage and activists are protesting to step back. They don't want the country to be a nuclear dumping ground. 


Most protesters were seen near the entrance to Port Kembla south of Sydney carrying sign boards such as 'Don't Waste Australia' and so on. The activists and environmentalists raised concerns about the safety of the ship and this has left the northern French port of Cherbourg. 


The French lawmaker described it as a 'Dustbin ship'.  Emma Gibson who is Greenpeace campaigner said, "We don't want our country to be a nuclear waste one. This is not the kind of ship you would want to see transporting nuclear waste." Australia earlier sent Nuclear fuel to France during 90's period. And now it is just being returned as a long term storage. 


The Australian Government has said this nuclear waste dump site would only be used to store Australia's radioactive waste but the protesters said now other countries are also coming forward to use Australia as dumping ground.
