14 DAY TRIAL // This May 21, Greenpeace activists in Sweden decided to prove that nuclear energy is safe to use if and only if pigs can fly.
Long story short, the greenheads flew a paramotor glider over the Ringhals nuclear power plant in southwest Sweden and showered it with pig-shaped balloons.
“And once again we see that nuclear reactors are both vulnerable and unprotected from threats – deliberate or accidental - from the air.”
“The next time it might not be a Greenpeace paramotor approaching the plant – it could be a falling passenger jet,” the organization writes on its official website.
The activists hope that, though their pig-shaped balloons only targeted said nuclear plant in Sweden, the entire nuclear industry will learn of their carrying out this so-called stress test and agree to phase out this energy source as soon as possible.
