Action against Beznau Nuclear Plant in Switzerland

Greenpeace activists erect a 3 metre high statue of a rabbit
(in the German language a test object is referred to as a 'test rabbit', not 'guinea pig'), weighing several hundred kilograms at Beznau, the world’s oldest nuclear power plant, to remind the industry that Swiss people are not guinea pigs. The banners in German, French, Italian, English and Romansh read 'Stop the experiment—shut down Beznau!'
'Beznau went into production exactly 44 years ago today and has fallen far behind the state-of-the-art in nuclear plants technology. No one anywhere in the world has any experience with such an antiquated nuclear plant', said Greenpeace nuclear campaigner Florian Kasser. 'With each passing day we are the unwitting participants in a large scale experiment in which we all serve as guinea pigs.'
