FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The group from Greenpeace managed on Monday to enter the grounds of the Tricastin plant, located 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of Marseille.
The activists hung banners reading “Tricastin: a nuclear accident” and “Francois Hollande: president of a catastrophe?”
About 50 police officers were called to the scene and authorities arrested a dozen of the activists.
In a statement on its website, the environmental group said, “With this action, Greenpeace is asking Francois Hollande to close the Tricastin plant, which is among the five most dangerous in France.”
“It (Tricastin) has, most notably, 20 cracks on the number 1 reactor vessel and is the third oldest of the French power stations.”
France is heavily dependent on nuclear power, with its 58 nuclear reactors producing some 75 percent of the nation’s electricity.
President Hollande pledged during his election campaign to cut the share of nuclear energy in France’s electricity production to 50 percent by 2025.
The French president has also announced that he wants to close the oldest plant at Fessenheim, near the German border, by 2017.
The environmental group said in order to keep his promise Hollande needs to close at least 10 reactors by 2017, and 20 by 2020.
The Monday action was the latest of several break-ins by Greenpeace at French nuclear plants in recent years, aimed at highlighting what the group says are dangers of atomic power as well as revealing security problems at the power stations.
