The Temelin nuclear plant in South Bohemia is just weeks away from being launched, but opponents of nuclear power are not giving up their campaign against nuclear power. On Thursday a group of 30 Greenpeace activists held a demonstration outside the National Office for Nuclear Safety in Prague. The demonstration, however, was unauthorised, and was broken up by riot police after several hours.
