Those who enjoy fables are in luck. The nuclear associatives have always proclaimed that nuclear power means independence. Humor. France has just been expelled from Niger, and our impeccable lobby is forced to sell itself to Kazakhstan, at Putin's behest, to obtain its uranium. Putin, the master of the energy game.
French nuclear power in Putin's hands
No uranium, no nuclear power plants. To fuel our 57 reactors, we must import between 8,000 and 9,000 tons of natural uranium each year. France has not produced any since the closure of the last mine, in Limousin, in May 2001.
