Documentary exposes scandal of France’s nuclear waste

Unclean Energy Truth Out   10 October 2009by: | Libération “Waste, the Nuclear Nightmare,” a documentary by Eric Guéret and Laure Noualhat, produced by Arte France and Bonne pioche. Demain, 20h45, Arte.

The fruit of eight months investigation in France, the United States and Russia, the documentary by filmmaker Eric Guéret and our Libération colleague Laure Noualhat (1) retraces the unrecognized and often opaque circuit of radioactive waste generated by the nuclear industry with meticulous care.

Apart from the revelations concerning EDF’s uranium for reprocessing stockpiled in Russia (see below), the investigation also plunges into the roots of the military, then civilian, nuclear energy sector and shows its still-appreciable consequences on certain American and Russian sites, drawing on the expertise of CRIIRAD (Commission de recherche et d’information indépendantes sur la radioactivité [Commission for Independent Research and Information on Radioactivity]).
