The plan was revealed by the newsmagazine Der Spiegel this week and the National television network Ard broadcast a background report late tuesday in which environment minister Klaus Topfer said it was a  if a plane carrying plutonium crashed and burned Large quantities of the cancer causing substance could be released into the atmosphere. Plutonium also is nuclear weapons material and it is feared that terrorists or a rogue country might try to Hijack a shipment. The German plutonium was fabricated into fuel elements for eventual use in a fast breeder nuclear reactor. But construction of the $6.3 billion Plant was halted several years ago after Public protests and Germany has no use for the material. Environment ministry spokesman Franz Emde said from Bonn on wednesday that the 125 fuel elements Are taking up storage space needed for other materials and the government had decided to ship the plutonium abroad. Fast breeder reactor a but the timing it will go to Britain a prototype at Dounreay in Scotland Emde said has not been decided Quot he said. The Dounreay reactor on the Remote Northern coast of Scotland is to be closed in 1994, but its fuel processing Plant is to remain in operation.

Japan a plutonium is destined for fast breeder reactors an experimental design that is dying out elsewhere even As the japanese say they want fast Breed ers which produce More nuclear fuel than they consume. Japan is dependent on imports for virtually All its Energy sources. The reactors use fuel elements High in plutonium Content however and Only three plants in the world reprocess such fuel rods commercially. So the inherent hazards of plutonium Are compounded by Long journeys to the French Plant the sell afield Plant in England or Dounreay in Scotland
