Greenpeace overruns German nuclear power plant

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@ix.netcom.com>]

It seems the Greens are getting more restless in Germany. No mention 
as to any violence, confrontations or arrests. Time to beef up 
security in their area. Probably have some fallout (no pun intended) 
here with respect to security measures.

BRUNSBUETTEL, Germany, Sept 7 (AFP) - Some 60 Greenpeace  
activists overran the nuclear plant in Brunsbuettel on Sunday to
protest the transfer of spent nuclear fuel to a French reprocessing
plant, local police said. 
   The environmental campaigners scaled the wall of the reactor in 
northern Germany and hoisted a banner saying "Nuclear waste from
Germany - Leukaemia in La Hague." 
   The international ecological organisation has been leading a 
campaign against the reprocessing plant in La Hague on France's west
coast over recent months. 
   In June, Greenpeace said water samples taken around a pipeline 
leading from the plant out to sea showed radioactive levels 17 million
times above the sea's normal radioactivity.
