France’s nuclear industry – not safe, not clean

(This site contains an informative video on France’s radioactive pollution. In French and Italian)

The safe French nuclear is a Government joke. Try and put the words France “nuclear accidents” into Google. You get about 28,000 results. Nuclear accidents in France are no longer news.

(France and Italy)  Nuclear dwarves, Beppe Grillo’s Blog 17 March 2010, “…….If the nuclear “picciotto” {rank and file mafioso} in Italy is Berlusconi, its instigator is Sarkozy. The greatest pusher of nuclear power stations in the world. And thus it is with joy that I read the news of the electoral collapse of the “Transalpine Carlànano”. One dwarf attracts another…. Sarkozy could lose in the whole of France at the second round….

Sarkozy is nuclear. France is a nuclear power. France exports military nuclear, as happened in Israel (*) and civil nuclear. Nuclear is uneconomic, dangerous, based on a non-renewable energy like uranium. No one has yet resolved the problem of the nuclear waste. The safe and economic French nuclear, the stuff that we will import into Italy, does not exist.
“In France, if “Électricité de France (EDF)” had to insure for the full cost of a meltdown, the price of nuclear electricity would increase by about 300%. In France, in August 2003 there was a heat wave so strong that it killed 14,000 people. The flow of cold water was reduced … the company was allowed to pour secondary cooling water into the nearby rivers, and to do that at temperatures that were so high as to kill the aquatic life.” (*). French civil nuclear power would not be possible without the military nuclear and both of them are kept alive using the taxes of the French.

But these are trifles. The safe French nuclear is a Government joke. Try and put the words France “nuclear accidents” into Google. You get about 28,000 results. Nuclear accidents in France are no longer news.

Nuclear is a business for the ones exporting it. For the French lobbies, and for the Confindustria companies that will receive financing from the Italian State. An enormous waste of resources. In Italy, tens of billions of euro are destined for the power stations instead of for the development of renewable energy. Italians voted against nuclear in a referendum. No Italian region wants nuclear, unlike Berlusconi and his court of miracles (with external support from Caltagirone’s son-in-law, Azzurro Pierferdinando). France has shown the way. One dwarf attracts another …
