The police arrested 57 Greenpeace activists who used a truck on Tuesday to break through two security barriers and ram their way into a nuclear power plant in eastern France, the organization said. The activists hung antinuclear banners from the Fessenheim plant, the oldest in operation in France. France’s nuclear safety authority said that the activists had not entered buildings and that the plant’s security had not been compromised. President François Hollande has promised to close Fessenheim by 2016. Greenpeace wants the plant, operating since 1977, to be shut immediately.
