Famous U.S. lawyer drafted to fight Temelin
-------------------------------------------
The famous U.S. lawyer Ed Fagan has been hired by Austrian anti-nuclear
activists fighting the launch of the Temelin nuclear power station in South
Bohemia. Mr Fagan left for Austria on Saturday, vowing to prevent Temelin
from going into full operation. Mr Fagan is known world-wide for his defence
of victims of Nazism, most recently winning billions of dollars for
slave-labourers forced to work for German firms during the Second World War.
His first step will be to ask the U.S. firm Westinghouse, which supplied
Temelin's operational equipment, to submit all documents on the equipment
for scrutiny. Austrian anti-nuclear activists have criticised safety at the
plant, which was completed in October at a cost of some 100 billion crowns.
