800 protest Flamanville reactor April 23 in Normandy

Marking the 25 years since the Chernobyl catastrophe, Didier and Paulette Anger, of the Normandy anti-nuclear group, CRILAN, organized a rally near the Flamanville nuclear site where a new EPR reactor is under construction. An estimated 800 people rallied near the site, followed by an enormous water truck that activists used, "dousing" symbolic reactor flames with buckets of water.
