As a French not expert in the matter but living near nuclear plants:
- one of the plant regularly leaks radioactive material
- rivers are getting too hot to cool down nuclear plants correctly
- nuclear plants are very unreliable, we almost got out of power this winter and next winter will be equally tough (only an abnormally hot winter avoid cuts...)
- the government wants to simplify control organism and laws around building new plants
(References are easy to find if you want confirmation)
I am not against nuclear power, but it has to be done properly and safely, which is certainly not the case around here.
Edit: it seems the fusion (no pun) of regulation organisms has been rejected by the senate. Still annoying to see this law discreetly pass, with no parliament debate outside of the senate, during a political crisis
