The Greenpeace Mediterranean Office charged that a representative of the German company Siemens has mislead Turkish officials and public opinion by claiming that nuclear power is cheap and safe. Ulrich Fischer from Siemens claimed during a press conference that hydroelectric power is more dangerous than nuclear power. A consortium of Siemens and France's Framatome, Nuclear Power International, is desperately trying to sell Turkey a nuclear power plant to be built in Akkuyu Bay along the Mediterranean.
