    -Greenpeace activists occupied a French nuclear power plant site before dawn Monday — a media stunt deeply embarrassing to the government, which is intent on demonstrating that France's reliance on nuclear power is safe.

    -Around 30 activists from the environmental group invaded state-owned nuclear power utility Electricite de France's Tricastin power plant complex in southern France.Tricastin Nuclear Accident" and showed the image of a giant crack forming across the building's facade.

    -By mid-afternoon, all of the activists had been arrested and were being held in a nearby police station, Greenpeace France said on its web site.

    -France is among the most nuclear-dependent countries in the world, with reactors producing about 80 percent of its electricity.
