1ere lesson (pi?) Policy:
An audit on French nuclear power plants
Prime Minister François Fillon has asked the Nuclear Safety Authority to make initial conclusions by the end of the year.
François Fillon instructed the Nuclear Safety Authority to audit French nuclear power plants following the Fukushima accident in Japan. The institution must provide "first conclusions" by the end of 2011, according to a letter published Thursday by Matignon.
The decision is made public while EDF and the Greens were opposed earlier this week on the vision of nuclear power by the French.
In accordance with the law "of 13 June 2006 on transparency and security in nuclear matters, I ask you to carry out a study of the safety of nuclear installations, in priority nuclear power plants, in view of the current accident in the Fukushima power plant", writes the Prime Minister in this letter addressed to the president of the ASN, André-Claude Lacoste.
A concrete answer to his statements
Deeming "essential" for the French "to have reliable transparent information available as soon as possible on the consequences" of the disaster in Japan, he asked ASN "to draw up specifications within a month and a timetable "for carrying out this study.
The head of government said on March 15 to the National Assembly, four days after the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, that "the safety demonstrations of each plant in France" would "be" monitored in the light of the lessons learned by the disaster "of Fukushima. "We will not evade any of the questions posed by this disaster," he stressed.
France has the 2e nuclear fleet of the world, it represents 75% of our energy resources.
This audit, if it is not "pipoté", risks being catastrophic: see nuclear RAS https://www.econologie.com/forums/edf-et-la- ... t7513.html and serial incidents including Fessenheim ...
And after this audit? Will EdF have the means to "update"?
