Greenpeace activists secretly invaded a French nuclear site before dawn Monday and draped a banner on its reactor containment building, embarrassing the government and exposing the vulnerability of atomic sites in France, AFP reported.
Police, whom Greenpeace told immediately of the publicity stunt, took several hours to round up nine intruders who had broken into the power plant in Nogent-sur-Seine, about 95 kilometers southeast of Paris.
France, which gets about three-quarters of its electricity from nuclear power, regularly faces protests from environmental activists over shipments of nuclear waste. Activist incursions into atomic plants are unusual.
