Sizewell occupation ends

The seven remaining Greenpeace protesters have come down from Sizewell B nuclear power station this afternoon. Appalling weather conditions left their radiation monitoring equipment waterlogged and as a result it was impossible to guarantee their safety.

Emma Gibson of Greenpeace said:
"This action has succeeded in exposing the government's secret plan to build new nuclear power stations and communicated the message that new nuclear power will be fought every step of the way."
