Twenty Greenpeace activists enter the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant in Sweden to unfurl a large banner from the top of the reactor and to deliver an orange pension letter to the plant. The activists are highlighting that the reactors have passed their technical lifetime and pose a serious risk. Sweden has four of the ten oldest and most worn reactors. A new report on nuclear age crisis shows that aging reactors reduce safety margins and increase accident risk dramatically.
The activity is part of a global action across Europe, where 240 Greenpeace activists have taken part in protests to highlight the risks of Europe’s ageing nuclear power stock.
