How France plays with nuclear fire – new book reveals the scandals
![]() Erwan Benezet recounts how, between under-investment, scandals of all kinds, denials of terrorist threats, and the problems of waste storage, France persists in defending this ” jewel “, Even to put the people at risk. https://reporterre.net/OEP-Comment-la-France-joue-avec-le-feu-nucleaire Liberation 12th Nov 2018 The journalist Erwan Benezet publishes “Nuclear: a French catastrophe”. A journalist in the Parisian where he writes under the heading of energy, this specialist seems to
have acquired the conviction that it was necessary to “extinguish the nuclear fire”, and decided to demonstrate it in a well-substantiated book.
Nuclear: a French disaster is not just an “anti” flyer aligned with
Greenpeace’s positions. It would be more like a smoke extraction company aimed at lifting the thick fog that surrounds the French nuclear complex.
The author’s goal is to enable all citizens to make their voices heard in a
meaningful way, as the country is “in the same pivotal moment as the one that occurred in the 1960s” when it was tried to launch the civilian nuclear program. Because despite public debate that preceded the preparation of the famous “EPP” (multi-year energy planning), the case seems already heard: in fact “historical” announcements recently brandished by Emmanuel Macron, the State shareholder will probably not conflict with the interests of EDF and a sector that holds the keys to the bomb and works 200 000 people in France. Thecompany has just agreed to close Fessenheim, the oldest of its plants that has reached its theoretical age limit of forty years. https://www.liberation.fr/france/2018/11/12/nucleaire-francais-un-livre-pour-arreter-les-frais_1691112 |
