Summary:
En dépit des précédents de Three Mile Island (1979), Tchernobyl (1986) ou Fukushima (2011), notre slogan national n'a guère changé : « En France, on a pas de pétrole, mais on a des idées ! ». Pourtant, le débat est loin d'être clos. Tour à tour alternative incontournable ou part maudite du « mix énergétique », le nucléaire avance sur trois fronts : essor mondial, recul européen, maintien français. Alors que nos 58 réacteurs fournissent toujours 80% de notre électricité, seule la centrale de Fessenheim devrait fermer fin 2016... sans que notre « société du risque » ne sache à ce jour la démanteler ! Modeste, le témoignage de Claude Parent – qui dirigea pour EDF le Collège du nucléaire pendant dix ans – en dévoile les totems, mais aussi les tabous...
