Hi there,
I am french, and i can tell you all : there are no problem in nuclear here. Never. Go back to sleep. Thanks for your attention.
In fact, here in France, it is almost illegal to put "problem" and "nuclear" in the same sentence without any negation...

We must immediately halt all nuclear decommissioning due to the obvious recklessness it poses! Isn't it obvious from this incident that all nuclear decommissioning activities pose an immediate, inherent, and almost guaranteed risk of catastrophe??!?!
