Three more anti-nuclear protesters were convicted yesterday for trespassing last month at the North Anna Power Station visitor center.

Paxus Calta, an activist, described in Louisa County General District Court as the "ringleader," was sentenced yesterday to two weeks in jail. He's appealing the conviction.

The two other protesters, Spot Etal and Sue Frankel-Streit, were fined $250 each. Instead of jail time, they will be allowed to complete 40 hours of community service.

All three were banned from entering property of the plant's owner, Dominion power, for two years.

About 20 supporters gathered with signs outside the Louisa courthouse.

Protests have been ongoing for some weeks in K.Mitrovica over a consignment of a suspected radioactive substance.

Serbs and Albanians alike are concerned that the consignment could become radioactive if destroyed. The material is currently located at the customs terminal in southern Kosovska Mitrovica.
