THE CHEKING PROCESS – This is what a nuclear physics engineer working for the French nuclear reactor manufacturer Framatome says in an interview that is widely relayed on social networks.
How to produce clean electricity and at the same time ensure French energy sovereignty? In the midst of the energy crisis, and after a summer marked by exceptional heat which once again underlined the urgency of the fight against global warming, this dual problem is more crucial than ever.
In an interview filmed by the site Media for all and went viral on social media, an engineer from the reactor manufacturer Framatome affirms that a fleet of fourth-generation reactors could make it possible to satisfy all of France’s current energy consumption “for 2000 years“, just by reusing the uranium currently stored in France.
