Nuclear Power in France: setting the record straight
Read the newly revised Beyond Nuclear pamphlet - Nuclear Power in France: setting the record straight.
Reprocessing
France reprocesses its own and some foreign irradiated fuel. However, far from a "recycling" operation, as it is sometimes termed, only about 1 percent of the reprocessed fuel is used again as reactor fuel, whole 99 percent remains as radioactive waste.The Hague reprocessing facility, if hit by a jet airliner, could released six times more radioactivity than the Chernobyl accident.
