ARTE Re: Nuclear waste repository yes or no - A Gallic village resists

Currently, 58 nuclear power plants are in operation in France – more than any other European country. Where to put all the radioactive waste that is produced?

For more than 20 years, the area around the village of Bure in northeastern France has been considered as a potential site for a final repository. This idea is extremely unfavorable to the local residents and anti-nuclear activists.
