Action at Beznau Nuclear Power Plant

About 100 Greenpeace activists from 6 different countries enter the nuclear power plant grounds of Beznau. With a spectacular climbing action they demand the immediate shut down of the 45 year old power plant which is ridden with unacceptable safety deficiencies. In addition, during the action one of the activists flies with a paraglider over the plant. Due to the plant's location an accident would have consequences for the whole European continent.
