About 5,000 people gathered outside the Hesse state Parliament building to demand that West Germany shut down its nuclear power plants. About 70% of Hesse’s energy needs are met by nuclear power, while a third of the nation’s energy comes from nuclear plants.

East German border guards took no action.
