Namely, do you think it has a future in the wave of next gen clean energy sources? If you support it, do you think it will always be viable or that it should only be a temporary measure to get us off fossil fuels while our renewable infrastructure grows?

      I mean, ANDRA seems a bit more neutral. They are not there to promote nuclear energy. They are there to deal with the wastes. Not only from power plants, but also from the military, labs and medical (X-rays and stuff). In deed I don’t have any “proof” they do their work correctly, but they seems pretty transparent about it and publish everything on their website.

        I’m not saying they are not doing their jobs, or that they do it badly, I’m saying that the jobs requires them to destroy forests, contaminate areas of land for centuries, and sometimes take decisions that are contrary to good practice, for example the choice of the site at Bure.

          Yeah, that’s why I think calculations based on the surface took by such centrals is completely biased (it only counts the power plant, not the storage).

          The reason why I cite ANDRA is because they have the decency to be transparent about what they’re doing. Which was not the case in France in the past.
