[CPEO-MEF] Ship carrying PCBs will now head to Wake Island

[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

PCB-contaminated waste that bounced from Seattle to Vancouver, B.C., to 
Yokohama, Japan, will soon be on the move again -- this time to Wake 
Island. 

The Pacific island, once the scene of a fierce World War II battle, has 
some limited use to the military and to commercial planes, which make 
emergency landings there. Wake Island also will provide an emergency 
landing strip for the 14 containers of electrical waste, which must 
leave Japan by May 18.
