Visit ICAN UK Fully assembled nuclear warheads are regularly transported for hundreds of miles in secret convoys on ordinary roads, day and night across Britain. For people who live nearby, this is too close for comfort. Britain's nuclear weapons could cause the direct deaths of more than ten million people with a combination of blast, fire and fallout. We have to stop endangering ourselves and the rest of the world. Special thanks to everyone at www.nukewatch.org.uk.

Nuclear warheads are transported by truck convoy on Britain's roads and motorways. They pass schools, hospitals, sports clubs, small town and large cities. This is one of the convoys.
