Regional branches of the Yabloko political movement conducted
protest actions against a decision of the State Duma, the lower
house of parliament, on uncontrolled imports of expended nuclear
fuel to Russia for storage and processing. Participants of protest
actions collected signatures on letters to the President, regional
governors and State Duma deputies with demands to prevent imports
of expended nuclear fuel to Russia as this may lead to a catastrophe
for Russia. As reported earlier, the bill on imports of expended
fuel was passed by the State Duma on the first reading in December.
