Greenpeace protesters climb onto roof of Dutch nuclear power plant
Wed May 18, 1:12 PM ET
Greenpeace activists climbed onto the reactor dome of a Dutch nuclear
power plant and painted a crack on it to underline the dangers of
nuclear power.
"About 30 people disguised as radioactive waste containers entered
the plant. Four or five of them climbed the dome of the plant and
painted a crack on it," said Esther Boot, a police spokeswoman in the
region of the Borssele plant in the southwest of the country.
The activists who succeeded in climbing the plant will be charged
with destroying property, Boot said, adding that the other members of
the group had already left the plant.
Greenpeace said in a statement that nuclear plants "produce waste
that threaten life, and are a target for possible terrorist acts."
The Borssele plant is due to close down in 2013, but Greenpeace
claims the government plans to keep it open because closing it would
be more costly than to keep it running.
"The government must invest more in reliable energy sources such as
solar, wind and biomass, that do not change the climate," the
environmentalist group said.
