All French Nuclear Reactors Deemed Unsafe

Posted by samzenpus on from the what's-the-worst-that-could-happen dept.

hweimer writes "A new study by a French government agency, commissioned in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, found that all French nuclear power plants do not offer adequate safety when it comes to flooding, earthquakes, power outages, failure of the cooling systems and operational management of accidents. While there is no need for immediate shutdown, the agency presses for the problems to be fixed quickly. France gets about 80% of its power from nuclear energy and is a major exporter of nuclear technology."

    The only alternative is coal. Nucular and coal is all there is. And coal is worse. Coal ash has more radioactive emissions than nucular plants, and arsenic and landslides too.

    There is no geothermal. Don't look at geothermal.

    This can easily be mitigated by adding new labor laws that prevent meteorites from ever going on strike.
