EmailAnti-nuclear campaigners plan to literally barnstorm the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant.
Activists in Somerset said today they had knocked up a 10-metre barn just outside the power station, symbolising barns and other structures razed from the site by energy giant EDF.
Several of the protesters previously occupied an abandoned farm on land owned by EDF until their eviction in March.
Protesters will wheel symbolic barrels of radioactive waste through nearby Bridgewater tomorrow and will attempt to scale the fences at the site on Monday.
