They are highly secret... Top secret military convoys carrying nuclear warheads travel regularly up and down the country - between the bomb factory at Burghfield in Berkshire and Trident nuclear bases in Scotland and RAF bases in East Anglia. No radiation warning symbols are carried and neither the public nor local authorities are warned of their movements. They carry lethal radioactive materials... The warheads in the lorries contain plutonium and other deadly radioactive materials. In a serious accident, a radioactive plume could spread for miles, poisoning a huge area for thousands of years. US and British government research has still been unable to rule out the risk of a catastrophic nuclear explosion. How long before a deadly nuclear accident? Nuclear warhead convoys have already been involved in a whole series of minor road accidents and breakdowns. The risk of a major accident is growing as traffic on British roads increases. Help us to stop these convoys... Nukewatch is a nation-wide network which monitors the convoys, informs the public, local authorities and media of their movements and campaigns against them. You can join the network and help raise awareness or monitor the convoys. For
