Energy sovereignty, exhaustion of resources … Nuclear challenges – L’Express

Energy sovereignty exhaustion of resources Nuclear challenges LExpress

Five years ago in Alsace, the first reactor of the Fessenheim nuclear power plant stopped turning. We then talked about the end of an era … until the war in Ukraine and the awareness of the ecological emergency rebuilt the cards. Between energy sovereignty, limited resources and influence issues, the challenges around nuclear are high.

Was it really to close this Alsatian power station? Five years later, we come back to this first episode on the story of a political sabotage with Anne Rosencher, delegated director of the editorial staff of L’Express and Sébastien Julian, deputy editor -in -chief of the climate service.

A promising project to reuse nuclear waste stopped in full flight. In this second episode, the magnifying glass dissects the end of the Astrid project which caused France to be lost on sustainable nuclear.

Emmanuel Macron had promised a new golden age of French nuclear. In this episode, we take stock of this revival announced in Belfort three years ago.

Who will first find the energy of the future? In this last episode, we are interested in nuclear fusion, a technique that could change everything.
