France admits nuclear security lax after Greenpeace activists enter plant

Interior Minister M. Claude Gueant admitted that security at France's nuclear plants is lax after Greenpeace activists scaled the walls of a nuclear plant. Greenpeace activists gained entry to the plant at Nogent-sur-Seine at dawn on December 5 and managed to climb the dome of one of its two reactors "in order to spread the message: 'Safe nuclear does not exist.'" “The aim is to show the vulnerability of French nuclear installations, and how easy it is to get to the heart of a reactor,” said Sophia Majnoni, a Greenpeace nuclear expert.
