"Following the Fukushima disaster, Europe should not, under any circumstances, halt its nuclear energy research; rather, it should support it. It would be irresponsible to call into question the continuation of Euratom’s nuclear research activities.
It is essential to continue Europe-wide nuclear research and development, in particular, to increase the safety of nuclear fission and to continue research into the ITER project.
I would point out that in France, nuclear power is a key factor in our energy independence, as it provides 80% of our electricity supply. The price of raw materials, such as oil and gas, is constantly rising, and stocks will soon be on the brink of depletion. Renewable energies certainly have their role to play, but at present, they cannot provide a sufficient response to our energy needs. It is therefore crucial that we study the nuclear energy of the future so that we can continue to provide our children with a secure, high-quality energy supply at stable prices. Training and research in nuclear energy are crucial for encouraging European competitiveness and growth."@en1
