Nuclear protesters to blockade Czech-Austrian border over Temelin

A radical Austrian anti-nuclear group announced on Wednesday that it will be blockading a Czech-Austrian border crossing in protest at the Temelín nuclear power plant on February 14. The Atomstopp Oberösterreich organisation says it will be holding a blockade at the Wullowitz-Dolni Dvoriste frontier crossing for an alleged failure to observe a Czech-Austrian treaty on nuclear safety. The controversial Temelín nuclear plant has been a sore point in Czech-Austrian relations since it began operating six years ago. Many in Austria claim that that the facility's Soviet design makes it more likely to experience a Chernobyl-style meltdown.
