Nuclear Energy Demonstration in Den Bosch

Greenpeace and other environmental organizations demonstrate in front of the court in Den Bosch to protest against the plans of the government and the owner of Borssele, EPZ, to keep Borssele operational for a longer period of time. The banner is reading "Borssele dicht nu!", which translates to English as "Borssele must close now!". An employee of Borssele demonstrates against the closing of the nuclear power plant. The text on his t-shirt reads "Paars: sluiten=bezopen, hou Borssele open", which translates to English as "Purple (name of government): closing=cracking, keep Borssele open".

Nuclear Energy Demonstration in Den Bosch the Netherlands

Today the lawsuit about the closing date of the nuclear power plant Borssele takes place at the court in Den Bosch. Greenpeace and other environmental organisations demonstrate in front of the court to protest against the plans of the government and the owner of Borssele, EPZ, to keep Borssele operational for a longer period of time. Greenpeace finds this very irresponsible, because a nuclear power plant is an easy target for terroristic attacks and can never be protected for one hundred percent. In addition nuclear waste remains highly dangerous for 240,000 years and the nuclear reprocessing is disastrous 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 calls on the government to hold to the decision to close Borssele and to invest in sustainable energy like sun, wind and biomass. Some employees of Borssele also join the demonstration, they are against the closing of the nuclear power plant.
