What the hell is an "Austrian" wikipedia, there's only one Deutsch Wiki, and I'm pretty sure Germans are allowed to edit pages on Austrian subjects.

The Chooz nuclear reactors are such a brilliant and assholish way to deal with NIMBY from French voters. Just let the Belgians deal with the fallout.

I can't imagine Germans are very happy with the Fessenheim power plant either, especially since it's one of the oldest plant we have. I hear it's due to be decommissioned.

It was sabotaged a few times by the Front de Libération de la Bretagne and ended up being the first French nuclear plant to be decommissioned. Right around the same time EDF wanted to build another plant in Plogoff at the far western tip of Brittany but it was delayed by violent protests until Mitterand's election when he scrapped the project. There's a decent film on YouTube about it if you speak French. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCt8Pz5THPM Kurtofan posted:It's the new FLN: Front de Libération du Nord. Défreumez ches ch'tis!

Yeah, Chernobyl was far away and the radiation cloud (that officially had stopped at the border  ) still had an impact in France (in the east especially, and Corsica): more thyroid cancers, though I'm not sure this is officially recognized.

According to a semi-recent poll, most actually are anti-nuclear. Kleine-Brogel has become some sort of symbol for anything related to nuclear power, as in: "everything nuclear is American imperialism and also very dangerous "

The whole core of the anti-nuke movement is conflating nuclear weapons and nuclear power, along with panic over reactor accidents that may or may not even be possible in theory

To be clear, I'm complaining that the pro-nuclear consensus here makes it easy to make really lazy, bad arguments. Like casually implying that nuclear opponents are retarded, or that there's no link between civilian and military nuclear programs, both of which occurred in the last few posts. Oh, and somehow reactor accidents are no longer possible in theory, amazing!
