Seven Greenpeace activists were arrested early Thursday after breaking into the EPR reactor site in Flamanville (Manche).

Chained activists

Since 5:30 a.m., a dozen activists, some of whom are chained, have also been blocking vehicle access to the two main entrances to the site.

Seven others managed to enter the site and unfurl a banner proclaiming "Nuclear: Macron irresponsible" near the reactor under construction, before being arrested, according to Cécile Génot, communications officer at Greenpeace France.
