Algeria launched a second operation Sunday to remove radioactive waste from a former French nuclear test site in the Sahara Desert, its Defence Ministry said, accusing Paris of withholding information needed for the cleanup.
The operation is taking place at the "Beryl E2" test tunnel site in the In-Ekker area of the southern province of Tamanrasset.
Algeria began its first partial cleanup operation on February 14 at Taourirt Tan Affella in the In Ekker area, according to the Algerian Press Service.
France conducted its first nuclear test near Reggane in the Sahara Desert on Februaryu 13, 1960 while Algeria was under French colonial rule. The test was code-named Gerboise Bleue, or Blue Jerboa.
France carried out 17 nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara between 1960 and 1966, continuing the program for four years after Algeria gained independence in 1962.
