Nuclear: why this long French silence

All the protagonists of the tricolor non-debate tell

And here, with Fukushima, reactivated the nuclear debate. Chancellor Angela Merkel has just announced that Germany wants to give itself some time to think before extending its operating nuclear power plants, contrary to the credo it has been hammering for several months.

And in France ? The Greens and the PS are trying to put the question back on the table. But the debate and information on nuclear energy has been tightly controlled by the industry for ... almost fifty years.

In 1999, for a special issue of Arrêt sur images (France 5), Colombe Schneck went to question all the protagonists of French non-debate. It is now tasty to listen again to the former director general of EDF tell how, in 1974, the government gave him a few hours, on a Saturday morning, to determine the number of plants that EDF could build. You have to hear the Prime Minister of 1974, Pierre Messmer, explain blandly why the debate before the Parliament passed to the ace. The halt in the construction of the Breton power station at Plogoff after the election of Mitterrand in 1981, the Chernobyl disaster and its withholding of information: all stages that mark the long French silence.

This program was broadcast on April 25, 1999. A little less than a year earlier, in May 1998, rail transport transporting nuclear waste from French power plants to the La Hague reprocessing plant had been stopped, because the Management nuclear installations (ancestor of the nuclear safety authority) had established that a third of the convoys presented radioactive contamination well above the authorized limit. Worrisome data, that EDF and Cogema (since swallowed by Areva) had been careful not to communicate to the State ... And in January, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, candidate of the Greens in the European elections, activist in shutting down the power plants French, had been received in a very muscular way by the unions of the La Hague factory, with the approval of the management.

While the nuclear debate will once again rage in France, this program was, and remains, in the public interest. There she is.


Bonus: look back on another broadcast, TV version of January 16, 2000. A few days after the December 1999 storm, we learned in January 2000 that the Blayais nuclear power plant in Gironde had experienced a level 2 incident ( which includes 7), due to flooding. The press releases published by EDF between December 28, the day of the incident, and January 5, the day of its media coverage in the newspaper Sud Ouest, are at least somewhat explicit and deliberately jargonous. They are decrypted by Valérie Casanova, in front of the EDF communication director

just a naive proposition. Could we not install a nuclear power plant on Ile Séguin in Paris. It would scare the politicians hiding in Paris enough and would make the Parisians react themselves.

According to the live world: http://www.lemonde.fr/asie-pacifique/ar ... _3216.html

11 p.m.

Civil nuclear power. The "stress test" that the EU will carry out on European reactors will show that not all are up to the highest safety standards, European Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger predicted on Thursday in a statement. interview which was to be broadcast Thursday in the newspaper of the Franco-German channel Arte.

In the wake of the nuclear accident in Japan, the European Commissioner announced on Tuesday the organization of "stress tests" on all 143 reactors in Europe.


I don't know what they mean by stress test, but the Tcherno disaster followed a test too ...
