Dozens of activists from France, Germany and Belgium gathered on the outskirts of the Nuclear Energy Summit to remind everyone that nuclear energy is not a solution to climate change. Dangerous, too slow and too costly to deploy, a generator of radioactive waste, the "new nuclear" is the worst possible choice for our low-carbon future.

Activists carried banners reading "Nuclear Fairy Tale" and "Stop illusion". At the same time, activists also slowed down the opening of the Summit by blocking the main access road.
Plusieurs dizaines d’activistes présents aux abords du Sommet sur l’énergie nucléaire en provenance de France, d’Allemagne, de Belgique se sont interposés pour rappeler que l’énergie nucléaire n’est pas une solution au dérèglement climatique. Dangereux, trop lent et trop coûteux à déployer, générateur de déchets radioactifs, « le nouveau nucléaire » est le plus mauvais choix possible pour notre avenir décarboné.

Des militant·es portaient ainsi des bannières indiquant « Nuclear Fairy Tale » (Conte de fées nucléaires) et « Stop illusion ». En parallèle, des activistes ont également ralenti l’ouverture du Sommet en bloquant la route d’accès principale.

Greenpeace activists are demonstrating against a return of nuclear power and for a sustainable energy supply in Europe in Berlin in front of the permanent representation of the EU Commission. A banner reads: "Ms. von der Leyen, no greenwashing of nuclear power and gas!" In addition, the activists have placed seven yellow nuclear barrels in front of the building. The reason for the action: Tomorrow, the EU Commission meets in Brussels on energy policy, the so-called taxonomy. In it, nuclear and gas power plants are designated as sustainable. This could lead to more nuclear power plants being built in the EU in the future.
Gegen eine Wiederkehr der Atomkraft und für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung in Europa demonstrieren Greenpeace-Aktivist:innen heute in Berlin vor der ständigen Vertretung der EU-Kommission. Auf einem Banner steht: ”Frau von der Leyen, kein Greenwashing von Atom und Gas!”. Zudem haben die Aktiven sieben gelbe Atom-Fässern vor das Gebäude gestellt. Der Grund für die Aktion: Morgen tagt die EU-Kommission in Brüssel zur Energiepolitik, der sogenannten Taxonomie. Darin werden Atom- und Gaskraftwerke als nachhaltig bezeichnet. Dies könnte künftig dazu führen, dass in der EU weitere AKW gebaut werden.
