21 October 2010 - Greenpeace activists wearing chemical protection suits and gasmasks roll out the banner reading "BNP Paribas! Stop radioactive investments" in Russian and English in front of the BNP Paribas office in Moscow. BNP banking group, which provides more financing to the nuclear industry than any other bank in the world, is currently planning to finance the building of Angra 3, a dangerously obsolete nuclear reactor in Brazil. Greenpeace is calling on BNP to announce its immediate withdrawal from Angra 3 and allow full transparency on its radioactive investments.
