The French Nuclear Industry Is Bad Enough in France; Let’s Not Expand It to the U.S.

The French Nuclear Industry Is Bad Enough in France; Let’s Not Expand It to the U.S. – By Linda Gunter
Areva, France’s nuclear industry, has a solid reputation, but a trail of radioactive waste and deaths in Africa follow its wake.
“Why can’t the Americans be more like the French?” It’s the prevailing pro-nuclear refrain, the latest in the nuclear industry’s efforts at fictional reinvention.
And until the collapse of his ill-fated and poorly orchestrated presidential run, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was the choirmaster, saying: “If France can produce 80 percent of its electricity with nuclear power, why can’t we?”
This clarion call to newfound Francophilia (remember “freedom fries?”) is based on a number of false assumptions, the most obvious being that if France gets 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear energy, this equates with success.
