Perils of nuclear power- French accident
by Kris on Jul 23, 2008 05:06 PM

Frencn high tech nuclear plant has radioactive leak

--About 74 kilograms (163 pounds) of uranium leaked two weeks ago from a nuclear waste plant owned by Areva SA at the site behind her mother's home in Bollene.
The leaks are shaking French people's long-held faith in nuclear safety in their country, which gets more than 80 percent of its electricity from atomic power -- the highest in the world. The incidents come just days after President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the construction of the country's 60th reactor to show that France is leading a global revival in nuclear usage.

``The incidents were a painful wakeup call for many,''
--
Stupid congressis were seen dancing on the streets after trust vote. They have no idea what they have done. India being much more thickly populated will become a nuclear waste land if any more nuclear plants are allowed to come up. Nandigram would look like a picnic spot in comparison.
