Will France Soon Be Nuclear-Free Like Germany?

Argus Media is reporting:

French nuclear watchdog ASN is studying fuel rod casing corrosion problems at a number of nuclear units owned and operated by French state-controlled utility EdF. There is no immediate safety issue or impact on operations, ASN said.

The issue is understood to affect as many as 25 of EdF's 58 nuclear reactors and was brought to ASN's attention by EdF. ASN continues to investigate and expects to be able to provide more information next week.

Maybe we will see the Paris Basin fracked sooner than later.
