True, the French nuclear engineers are highly competent. Yet another factor helped developing technology as safe as possible: In the 1970s, a strong citizen's environmentalist protest movement obliged the French nuclear establishment to pay more attention to safety and environmental issues.

Of the people i know most who oppose nuclear energy don´t have a clue about it while all who understand the process and risks support it. Almost all arguments opposers make can be countered easily. That´s propably the most usefull source of energy before fusion reactors come to reality.

don't compare france and fukujima, they did known that there was a huge treat about tsunami and heartquake, that's not the case in france (only in the alp where there's no nuclear plan)

One word = Fukushima!!!

Meltdowns x 3. Containment breached!

They said that could never happen. They lied.

"Spreadation" of radiation, 'deniable' illness and damaged genetics. That's the real cost. (immeasurable)

Testing of Milk, other foods and manure have proven positive in California as of September 2011.

Nuclear/Unclear Energy has been a folly since day 1. It was a big gamble and we have lost. Do you get it now? You will soon.

Thanks, Atoms for Peace. (said sarcastically)

The Russian BREST nuclear reactor simultaneously recycles it's nuclear fuel indefinitely & CONSUMES IT'S NUCLEAR WASTES AS FUEL as well. No problem concerning long term nuclear waste storage but the U.S is against it for one good reason. Nuclear Waste Storage is a MONEY MAKING INDUSTRY. If you solve the long term nuclear waste problem, then the money making nuclear waste storage industry is made unneeded. The Fast Integral Reactor is one solution but was rejected because of this selfish reason

Organic food has killed more people than Nuclear Power

How do you feel now, hippies?

the french are stupid people

@22ness0hayden Unlike the old center in Manche where is store all kind of wastes, Aube center receive only low radioactive wastes (gloves, tools, white coats, steel from dissassembled reactors etc) packaged in barrel and flooded with concrete.

Spent fuel is now vitrified and will be store in a special center, 500m deep, designed to retain radioelements away from the surface for tens of thousands of years.

In EU legal limit of tritium in water is a hundred times lower than the WHO recommandation

@SuperBunkerbuster I was refering to this video, watch?v=NbRP-QfeI-8

@budnboston The water ISN'T in direct contact with fuel. The nuclear fuel is always in a zirconium alloy housing which avoid water from the primary circuit of a reactor, or the water from the fuel pool, to become too radioactive, and avoid the fuel from dissolving in water.
