Dirty Plans of France to Nuke the US – Starting With DC!

Dirty Plans of France to Nuke the US – Starting With DC! OpEd News 8 April 09 by Cathy Garger French radioactive disasters at home render an abysmal nuclear safety record – and now they are being helped to bring the same disasters here to the US!………the ASN, (Autorite de Surete Nucleaire) the French nuclear safety authority, yesterday came out with a report which states that 5 out of 19 of their nuclear power plants are “underperforming.” …………

the EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) design has never before operated anywhere in the world. Judging from the nuclear track record of the French state, the operation of this over-sized, unproven reactor will unquestionably ensure the further toxic and radioactive contamination of the MD-DC-VA area, surrounding the nation’s capital with deadly discharges – thermal, toxic, and radioactive – into the already heavily oxygen-depleted, Chesapeake Bay.

Despite many local citizens’ disdain for France‘s ambitious and greedy visions for the US, however? The far greatest sin is absolutement not France’s blatant disregard for the certain worsened contamination of the United States of America – demonstrated by its callous disregard shown both its own environment and own people………………………. the blame and focus must instead be placed squarely where it belongs… in the very laps of the US (s)elected officials themselves, as manifested by their enthusiastic and unanimous dedication to these experimental double-size nuclear monsters, originating with the radioactive French “christening” of the greater Washington, DC area.

……………Five (5) out of nineteen (19) French “underperformers” equates to a rate of 26 percent of nuclear power plants identified as sub-standard performers. In other words, France itself admits its own nuclear power plants have a measly 74% acceptable performance (think “safety”) rate……………………….It’s important to realize the French nuclear invasion is being welcomed with open arms by those in power in our very own government. AREVA’s big plans to take a colossal slice of what I’ve termed the US “nukuler insurgency” pie has been accomplished by AREVA’s Congressional lobbying efforts to the tune of over $5.2 million in the years 2005 to 2008 alone.
