240 Greenpeace Activists Take Direct Action Protesting Europes Aging Nuclear Reactors
Greenpeace International | March 9, 2014
By Isadora Wronski
Last week, 240 Greenpeace activists from national and regional offices took action across Europe to highlight the risk of aging nuclear reactors.
In Switzerland, about 100 Greenpeace activists from six different countries entered the station at Beznau. They climbed the superstructure of the reactor and hung banners demanding the immediate shut-down of the 45 year old power plant while a paraglider circled the sky.
In Sweden, twenty activists entered the the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant and four climbers unfolded a massive banner in the shape of a pension notification letter from the top of the reactor roof. Sweden has four of the ten oldest and most worn reactors in Europe.
