Five years already! 🐻‍❄️🥳🎂

Thank you to those who have believed in us since the beginning in 2018, and to all who have joined us along the way. There was nothing obvious or easy about it.

🧵⤵️ We have come a long way, to break the taboo, to re-establish the facts, to educate, to change the tone of the debate, to make beautiful encounters, to propose, to doubt, to progress, to grow. To allow citizens to reclaim their opinion on nuclear energy.

Proud and hopeful.

🇪🇺 solidarity: climate action to prevent shutdown of #lowcarbon energy sources ✊⚛️🌍

Last Saturday, we opposed, together with @Nuklearia & @Moms4G, the antinuclear activists demonstrating in front of the #Isar #nuclear power plant 🇩🇪

In France, country with the highest in the world share of #nuclear in its #energy mix, nothing can be taken for granted. Here’s a video from Thursday night’s debate in Lyon on new nuclear reactors. What happened? (a thread 🧵) In France there’s currently an ongoing #Penly debate on the deployment of the first pair of #EPR2 reactors. Last year, the President E. Macron announced the relaunch of the French nuclear industry by constructing at least six, up to fourteen reactors EPR2. Image

Everyone should be aware that the current state of French #nuclear, currently under fire from critics due to the low availability of its reactor fleet (quickly forgetting more than 40 years of steady service) is the result of 25 years of relentless anti-nuclear effort.
🧵⤵ It is hard to imagine when looking at France from outside, but its nuclear fleet is a survivor.
Antinuclear ideology has been undermining the 🇨🇵 nuclear sector and hindering the course of its operation since the 90s.

40 nuclear reactors in operation🟢
The 🇫🇷 #nuclear fleet is getting back in the game 🎮🌤

Following #Flamanville 2 and #Cruas 2, #Cattenom 4 after 2 failed launches in recent days seems to be back for good. And this morning two other units join them: #Bugey 3 and #Dampierre 3 💪 Image The availability of the park finally exceeds 70%, which had not happened since last winter!

The 40 GW of production is in sight.

We must be clear, this is very low for a winter season❄️, and we are missing the 16 reactors 🔴still unavailable.
