The French nuclear industry has started to unravel after the national utility firm Electricite de France's (EdF) nuclear program went under attack for the first time since 1974. The situation was aggravated by technical problems, nuclear waste disposal questions, a $12 billion investment in a suspect breeder reactor, and $30 billion owed by EdF to the national treasury.

France Uses Less than 1 Percent of the Natural Uranium Resource, Has Higher Waste Volume; Reprocessing Still Requires a Repository and Increases Costs, Proliferation Risks WASHINGTON, April 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Contrary to some prevailing opinion, reprocessing would not eliminate the need for a deep geologic disposal program to replace Yucca Mountain. It aggravates waste, proliferation, and cost problems. The volume of waste to be disposed of in deep geologic repository is increased about six times on a life-cycle basis in the French approach compared to the once-through no-reprocessing approach of the United States.
