A group of Greenpeace activists got into the Cofrentes nuclear power station in Valencia. They attempted to get the Nuclear Safety Board and to the Spanish government to close the plant as its permit runs out in March 2011.

Sources of the ecologist organization informed that a group of activists climbed the refrigeration tower in the nuclear power station with the intention of painting the words "nuclear danger" on it.

Ecologists managed to denounce the lack of security in the plant which started working in 1984.

Greenpeace claims that the Cofrentes nuclear plant is dangerous and that it has a great many problems and unresolved security issues which are all proof that it is no longer viable or useful.

The Nuclear Safety Board has until 23rd February to make a proposal to the government over the future of the plant.
