Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant 561
dotancohen writes "Greenpeace activists secretly entered a French nuclear site before dawn and draped a banner reading 'Hey' and 'Easy' on its reactor containment building, to expose the vulnerability of atomic sites in the country. Greenpeace said the break-in aimed to show that an ongoing review of safety measures, ordered by French authorities after a tsunami ravaged Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant earlier this year, was focused too narrowly on possible natural disasters, and not human factors."

If they'd gotten shot they probably wouldn't be talking at all.

Greenpeace has confirmed time and time again that their activists are insane. Who keeps giving these people money anyway?
People who would rather someone else get their hands dirty or risk their lives, while they go on enjoying a cup of tea and good book of poetry.
Interesting game, isn't it? Not entirely unlike the other side of the coin - Corporations and lawyers.

Gotta give Greenpeace credit for having balls.
Ever been to a Greenpeace function? Most of them don't. **

This is Europe, not US. Sniping people isn't considered a good first response to an unidentified threat.

Here's a start for you: "20 yeaers after the Chernobyl accident: past, present and future" by Elena Burlakova, for example.
Why would anyone trust the opinion of someone who can't even spell the word "years" correctly in the title of their book.
