About 60 Greenpeace activists from 14 countries protested in Fessenheim (France) against the risk caused by ageing nuclear power plants in Europe. The activists from several European countries (France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovenia and Austria) and non-European countries (Australia, Turkey and Israel) have unfurled a banner next to reactor n°1 with the message "Stop Risking Europe". Other activists are on top of this reactor and on its pool. With barrels at the entrance and a banner at the building they demand the shutdown of the plant. The nuclear power station Fessenheim is an old plant and only 1 kilometer from the German border. In case of an accident Germany will also be affected. Germany has decided a phase out from nuclear power until 2022.
