France Wants Nuclear Power

France Wants In on the Nuclear Power Scenario Again. Find out Why.

It seems that France wants nuclear power again. From being the only country in the world to produce as much as 70% of its electricity from nuclear power, France began to change this after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster and in 2015 the government voted to cut the share of nuclear in the nation’s energy supply to 50% by 2035. But recently, although no affirmative action has taken place, France seems to be adjusting its stance on nuclear.

This week Le Monde reported that the government asked EDF, the country’s main state-controlled energy company, to work up plans to build three new nuclear plants, each with a pair of its EPR reactors. The third-generation design produces enough electricity to supply 1.5 million people, and automatically shuts down and cools in the event of an accident.
