Presenting himself as a “defender of nuclear energy”, the economy minister urged “not to undermine this strategic asset.”
Mayor Bruno assured this Tuesday that nuclear energy has maintained its “relevance” in France, after the closure of the Fessenheim plant, and urged “not to undermine this strategic asset.” “If you think in the long term, nuclear power retains all its importance,” the economy minister said on BFMTV and RMC, when asked about the closure of the Fessenheim power plant.
Presenting himself as a “defender of nuclear energy”, he pointed out two advantages of this energy: “It allows us to be a country that emits less CO2 for the production of electricity and that guarantees our independence”, he emphasized.

“A force that criticizes the nuclear industry, we will lose skills,” said Bruno Le Maire. “I want to be told that its reindustrialization is necessary (…), but it must not undermine our strategic assets, including nuclear energy,” he warned.
Secretary of State Agnès Pannier-Runacher proved to be more nuanced. “Nuclear power today is a mixed blessing, at least in economic terms,” she told BFM Business.

nuclear energy, which represents more than 70% of electricity production in France, “we do not rule out the possibility of our energy mix. What we are trying to do is balance the renewable energy part and the nuclear energy part,” he explained.

“In terms of technology, what we see is not necessarily EPR, they are plants that can be of a more modest size, that satisfy our needs to have an installed base (…) and to have technologies that are more efficient,” said the Secretary of State.

The closure of Fessenheim, the dean of French nuclear power plants
Fessenheim: France’s oldest nuclear power plants close permanently The last Fessenheim reactor stops after a “failure” in the tap Fessenheim: a painful wake-up call for opponents of the definitive closure of reactor no. 1
the bill for the first third-generation EPR-type reactor built in France, at Flamanville, Manche, tripled to €12.4 billion, and the project ran into delays. The final shutdown of the oldest nuclear power plant still in operation in Fessenheim (Haut Rhin) on the night of Monday to Tuesday will not finally await a connection to this EPR, contrary to what has long been believed.
