alchresearch Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 News story only a couple of days ago: "We are being asked to believe that EDF are fit and proper people to build the next generation of nuclear power stations, starting at Hinkley Point, when these documents make clear they're not." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/report-raises-concerns-over-safety-of-nuclear-plants-2352222.html and: The French nuclear safety watchdog has asked EDF to fix a series of “gaps and weaknesses” in its €6bn ($8.6bn) flagship project to build a next-generation atomic plant in northern France, putting more pressure on a programme already beset by spiralling costs and delays. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/82db34a6-ce66-11e0-b755-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1Xk9HD8GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/12/explosion_at_french_nuclear_facility/ A member of the French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety told the WSJ that because of the low level of radioactivity in the waste products and the fact that damage to the building as a whole was slight, the amount of radiation released should be "very, very low."
