Nuclear Action at Meeting Essent in Arnhem

Greenpeace demonstrates with cat-calls at the shareholders' meeting of Essent in Arnhem. The volunteers hand out yellow whistles with the nuclear symbol to the shareholders of the electricity supplier Essent. These whistles are the symbol of the mockery that the green image of Essent presents. As large shareholder of the nuclear power plant Borssele, Essent is jointly responsible for what happens with nuclear waste and the causes of the reprocessing of the Dutch nuclear waste in France. Nuclear energy is disastrous for the environment, because nuclear waste remains highly dangerous for 240,000 years and the reprocessing in France causes unacceptable pollution in the North Sea. The nuclear power plant Borssele will be operational for ten more years, so Greenpeace demands that Essent must stop the reprocessing of nuclear waste. The nuclear reprocessing is devastating for the environment and proliferation. Despite the pollution and international treaties that commit the Netherlands to store nuclear waste immediately, Borssele continues this polluting process. Greenpeace asks the shareholders to urge Essent to stop the reprocessing and to invest in sustainable energy like sun, wind and biomass.
