Mulhouse —
Dozens of Greenpeace activists sneaked into a nuclear power plant in eastern
France at dawn Tuesday in the latest break-in by the environmental group to
highlight alleged security weaknesses at atomic facilities.
The
activists broke into the Fessenheim plant and hung a banner reading "Stop
risking Europe" on the side of one of its reactors "to denounce the
risk of French nuclear power for the whole of Europe," the group said in a
statement.
A spokesman
for state-run power firm EDF, which runs the plant, said it was functioning
normally despite the break-in.
"These
actions will not have any impact on the working of the plant which is
functioning normally," the spokesman said.
Police had
detained 56 activists, he said, but 20 remained on top of the dome of one of
the reactors as a police helicopter hovered above.
France, the
world's most nuclear-dependent country, operates 58 reactors and has been a leading
international proponent of atomic energy.
But in a
deal with the Greens before the 2012 parliamentary and presidential elections,
President Francois Hollande's Socialist party promised to cut reliance on
nuclear energy from more than 75 percent to 50 percent by shutting 24 reactors
by 2025.
Hollande
has pledged to close Fessenheim, which was commissioned in 1977, by the end of
2016.
The plant,
located on the banks of the Rhine, is close to the Swiss and German borders and
is considered vulnerable to seismic activity and flooding.
The
Greenpeace protest stunt comes ahead of a meeting by European leaders to
discuss the future of the continent's energy policy.
Greenpeace
wants Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to push Europe towards a
real energy transition, complaining that France relied too much on nuclear
power, and Germany on coal, for electricity supplies.

“… 4 - Energy (again)
The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!
Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much….”
