Unclean Energy

The fruit of eight months investigation in France, the United States and Russia, the documentary by filmmaker Eric Guéret and our Libération colleague Laure Noualhat (1) retraces the unrecognized and often opaque circuit of radioactive waste generated by the nuclear industry with meticulous care. Apart from the revelations concerning EDF's uranium for reprocessing stockpiled in Russia (see below), the investigation also plunges into the roots of the military, then civilian, nuclear energy sector and shows its still-appreciable consequences on certain American and Russian sites, drawing on the expertise of CRIIRAD (Commission de recherche et d’information indépendantes sur la radioactivité [Commission for Independent Research and Information on Radioactivity]). [Note: The 2 other articles discuss the secrecy around where and how this nuclear waste is being stored. Thus, because of this complexity, the dependence upon Russia for their cooperation in the storage of this uranium material in Siberia.]

  1. #1    What happens if there is an accident on route to the storage sites? Or when there is no longer room to plant this waste materials? Hence, the really great rationale for coming up with some kind of a recycle plan, if we are going to continue to use this as energy.
