Nuclear Power

And when we were checked for radioactive contamination we were shocked when we set off the warning light. When a little model of the alarm to a 2nd check showed it was a false alarm. Relief all around. Our equipment was checked as well. To vast
Nuclear Power
sites in close proximity but few seem to be bothered. This small group however is concerned they made here on the coast where waste water from the reprocessing facility flows into the ocean from a pipeline the group regularly collect samples of sand mussels moss and. They send the samples to an laboratory to be analyzed because at that actually we check for limpets aquatic snails you find all over the beaches.

Which deal for. All we want is to stop the media making false associations thats our main objective. We have completely different values. You know is a wine which would be a power plant produces electricity and basically all wine growing areas in france are close to a

he just doesnt want his wind to be associated with it and he sees no contradiction of values in that this will destroy.

Our next stop is the village of brew up a village with just 92. 00 inhabitants here too we found only small signs of protest. You cant see much of the site from above ground but theres obviously something going on and our arrival didnt go unnoticed the local shandong patrol the streets around the clock as soon as we got our cameras out we were stopped by police and asked for our papers this happened 4 times folks local farmer.

agree. Sun we believes that deep underground is the best place for it. At sea explains that the complex system of locks ensures maximum safety. But. Suppose youre not its no small suppose and we dont know if the funding or the know how will be there nor do we know if france will be politically stable. But that we dont really know what will happen on the ground in the future is it so thats why we need to find a solution thats deep underground now as far from the unpredictable circumstances on the ground level as possible but its all good as projects are hardly built for such longevity any more of the storage will take 100 years and the construction has to fulfil its purpose for several hundreds of thousands of years so its a little like one can feed rules where once built.

for civilian use and also for military use they also do some research into alternatives to

but also

Chain Reactions
get out of control such as in the event of a nuclear accident. You know
School Friends
ive seen them on do that with the direction of fuel elements we need to take into consideration the risk of accidents. We need to understand their behavior and the potential impact on the environment in extreme cases such as the complete destruction of the fuel elements. On that yet but on an example last see a human take the example of fukushima where radioactivity was released. Dont be clear good because obviously its a good idea to reduce these risks. A press worksman interrupts to say the severity of accidents varies well of course that was an extreme case. The

is almost hermetically sealed hardly anyone is allowed inside. Here in the centers would it grounds to some way up the hill a new

is under construction. We were the 1st german t. V. Team permitted to film here. France wants to show that it remains committed to the
Nuclear Project
it also hopes that before too long it will once again get to sell reactors to overseas buyers. The

enjoys a staggering budget of several 100000000. 00 euros a year. Every evening the buses take the employees back home. To russias located near the pretty town of sound. Which benefit significantly from its proximity to the

in the world the russians have said the same initials to seaview the older generation was afraid of
Atomic Energy
because of the bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki as if that was a disaster but i can assure you that in ca to hush there has only been one accident since it was built 60 years ago and one casualty. Sit. France has the most

at the end its expensive

Nuclear Power<\/a> plants are a fact of life these days and im protecting the environment by monitoring them id rather live with this reality than act like theyre not there to all of them is what im going to talk about. This is the house of 2 people who take a different stand. And his wife paulette are the oldest of the towns few and 100
Nuclear Power<\/a> campaigners theyve been fighting their cause for 40 years. Do you see this was taken when
Jacques Cousteau<\/a> came to town and as soon as he ours is the only
Nuclear Power<\/a> plant in friends that cousteau visited twice. And its not a lot of people know that cousteau was strongly opposed to
Nuclear Power<\/a> and. You do. When the plot was 1st built we occupied it you can see here how we block the entrance on the so that the construction vehicles couldnt get past you. Off before the. Rest picked up that one day i was summoned to the
School Inspector<\/a> of the moon he told me. Your activism is not compatible with your position as teacher but. Why is it that france has such little patience with opponents of
Nuclear Power<\/a> little other mo the german state suffered greatly under the nazi centralized regime. Are the same thats why germany is largely decentralized and as a federal democracy. I think in the end the federal states have the autonomy to make certain decisions including on
Energy Matters<\/a> thats not the case in france good of it left holes today is a special day for d. D. A. Japans former
Prime Minister<\/a> now told con is visiting from monday. Hell be talking about the book ashima disaster which occurred while he was in office. At the small memorial he lays flowers and then warns against the dangers of
Nuclear Power<\/a> plants and encourages his audience to protest before they say that the
Atomic Energy<\/a> industry is a state within the state or not so in france the
Nuclear Lobby<\/a> is the state so its very hard to fight it but the quote. A 3rd generation european pressurized
Water Nuclear<\/a> reactor for e. P. R. I. Was supposed to go into operation implement the 6 years ago the start was delayed due to technical problems a sign perhaps that the mood is changing in france safety stipulations are increasingly stringent. I in spring 2018 living c. E. O. Of
Friends Energy<\/a> giant e. T. F. Was still optimistic that the mormon weighted project would soon be going ahead of the project is that a fair offer our aim is to load the fuel runs into the reactor in december 28th thats an ambitious deadline but were used to such challenges in this industry lucillas that if there is a challenge of this to get. The deadlines wasnt met another delay was recently announced. But at least the plum on the
Nuclear Power<\/a> plant still has a future the plant infested heim does not the countrys oldest
Nuclear Power<\/a> plant is about to be closed but the risks it poses to the public remain. Locals need to know what to do in the event of an accident including
School Children<\/a> if disaster strikes they have to stay in their classroom the school is just 4 kilometers from the plant. Sure we know it could happen were very aware. For. This was a bit of im a bit scared that something could happen but not of the time that we know this case contains protective equipment for 4 classes of your more blood you. Could wear this is a radio that has to be tuned to a specific frequency in case the author already has an ounce important news. Theres a thought this is a safety vest for me in case we have to evacuate. These are a few games to keep the children occupied but was not exactly a lot considering how many thered be iodine pills.
