Sie hissen ein Transparent mit der Aufschrift "IAEO: 90.000 Strahlentote sind genug. Atomausstieg jetzt". Die Proben stammen aus einem oeffentlich zugaenglichen, forstwirtschaftlich genutzten Waldstueck sowie dem Dorf Bober, rund 50 km vom Ungluecksreaktor entfernt. Um jegliche Gefaehrdung waehrend des Transports und bei der Uebergabe an die IAEO auszuschliessen, werden die Proben durch einen 200 kg schweren Betoncontainer mit Bleiummantelung geschuetzt.Locations:Austria-Europe-ViennaDate:24 Apr, 2006Credit:© Greenpeace / Kurt PrinzMaximum size:3872px X 2592pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Barrels-Day-Greenpeace activists-Indoors-International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)-KWCI (GPI)-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear energy symbol-Nuclear waste-Protective clothing-Radiation-Radioactive waste-Return to sender actions-Samples-Small group of peopleShoot:Action at International Atomic Energy Authority in AustriaGreenpeace activists deliver radioactive soil from a public area outside the exclusion zone at the site of the Chernobyl disaster to the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA).
