Despite a huge nuclear overcapacity and even though it is becoming urgent to
develop a new energy consumption management and invest in renewable energy,
the French Government has asked EDF to build a new nuclear reactor, EPR
(European Pressurized Reactor), in Flamanville (Manche/ Normandy). The
French nuclear energy lobby is trying to brush aside any type of alternative
by presenting the public with a fait accompli and by imposing the
substitution of existing capacities for EPRs (European Pressurized Reactor)
in the future.

However, it is obvious that choosing EPR is a wrong decision from all
aspects :

– Energy : France doesn¹t need a big centralized electrical production
capacity for the next decades. Nuclear energy represents only 15% of French
final energy consumption and 3% of the world¹s. It is not a solution to
reverse climate change either.
– Economy : this extremely expensive project (billions of euros) will delay
the necessary redeployment of the French industry without addressing its
difficulties.
– Social aspects : the increasing demand for renewable energy will help
create many more jobs (up to 5 times more) and will be more adapted to the
future than nuclear energy. For the same investment, a wind power program
would lead to twice the amount of electricity production, for instance.
– Environment : EPR is not providing any response to the safety, security
and waste management problems which will burden future generations.

Because we refuse the perpetuation of nuclear threat on the planet ;

Because we deny the French nuclear lobby the right to impose a new reactor on us (French people and the rest of the world) ;

Because we reject the confusion between state service to the public
(“service public d’état”) and lobbying ;

Because we know this useless investment will end up as a burden on consumers
and future generations in France and elsewhere;

Because we want a future made of clean and renewable energies ;

Together, let¹s say NO to the EPR !

We sign the Call against the nuclear reactor EPR and we join for the Cherbourg anti-EPR rally of April 15^th - 16^th, 2006 . This rally will also be an opportunity to commemorate the Chernobyl 20^th anniversary together.
