AP: Greenpeace protesters stage break-in at nuclear power plant

"LONDON (AP) _ Nineteen anti-nuclear protesters used ropes, ladders and wire-cutters to break into the central control building of a nuclear power station in eastern England on Monday, the environmental group Greenpeace said.

Suffolk Police said there was ``an incident'' at the Sizewell B plant but would not give details.

Greenpeace, which campaigns for an end to nuclear energy, said it staged the break-in to expose poor security at the Sizewell B plant and other nuclear facilities.

``It is a terrifying thought that if we can do this then anyone can,'' said Rob Gueterbock, one of the protesters occupying the plant's roof. ``We wouldn't do anything to interfere with the plant, but if terrorists targeted a nuclear power station it would be deadly"
