Protesters break into Finnish-Russian nuclear site
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Anti-nuclear protesters broke in to a construction site on Tuesday for a nuclear reactor to be supplied by Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom, choosing the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster for their demonstration.
Police estimated that close to 50 protesters gathered near the Fennovoima site in northern Finland and around 40 were detained. One group broke in to the site while others lay down on the road leading to the site's entrance, police said.
Fennovoima's Heli Haikola said around 10 protesters entered the site but work was able to continue.
"We want to remind people that the Chernobyl plant was built by Rosatom's predecessor. I wouldn't do business with anyone with that kind of history," Venla Simonen from the Stop Fennovoima protest group told Reuters by telephone.
