Austrian Temelin opponents planning "hunger strike"

Austrian opponents of the Temelin nuclear power station in south Bohemia are planning to stage a "hunger strike" in the new year. The group Stop Temelin announced on Friday that their "protest fast" would begin in the Austrian border town of Freistadt on January 2 and last for several days. Critics of Temelin, which went into operation in October 2000, say it is unsafe.
