On the first of July Finnish parliament set a dangerous example to the world by approving the construction of two more nuclear reactors. Four reactors now operate in Finland, two of them in Olkiluoto nuclear power plant (NPP), the fifth reactor (OL3 by Areva-Siemens) is under construction also in Olkiluoto island on Finland's west coast.

We reject and resist the decisions to build new nuclear power plants in Finland!

As a response to these frightening developments the anti-nuclear movement is blocking the roads to the Olkiluoto NPP and construction site. On August 28th, 2010 the Olkiluoto Blockade will take place. The action day was first launched by Nuclear Free Finland, Women for Peace, Action Group for a Nuclear Free Åland, Friends of the Earth Finland and Women against Nuclear Power. By now, 24 groups in have endorsed the action and this number grows daily.

It would be great if your organisation could join the blockade as supporting organisation. We would of course also be extremely happy if people from your organisation attend the blockade.

Unfortunately we cannot cover travel costs to Finland, but we can offer you a free ride on the bus from Helsinki to Olkiluoto and back. Free accommodation is available in Turku and Rauma, and camping places are everywhere!
