HOW WORK A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ?

FRENCH LOW ABOUT POLLUTION

27th of June 2001 : Low « Polluter, Paying »After many debates, the low was created for people who

pollute water ; it is a taxexemple : Farmers who use fertilizer pay this tax...

...but nuclear power plants and every nuclear infrastructure, that reject radioactive wastes, don't...

...so they use to reject too much waste without paying anything !Exemple : in reprocessing point of la Hague, wastes are rejected

in the English channel or in air. And because of these rejects, river Ste.Helen that flows just near the site is polluted.

Nuclear power plants and reprocessing points are not the only things which reject radioactive wastes ;

Hopitals, military camps do it even if simple and cheap issues could stop this.

These don't pay the tax too !!

WARNING! TSUNAMI!

Tsunami is a problem when nuclear power plants are too near from the see.Whem the see come into lands,

it takes all wastes it finds, including radioactive wastes,

and bring them back in the oceans.

ALSO...

Nuclear power plants need water, so they use to take someand to reject it polluted, in rivers.

Nuclear power plants make earthquakes, that damage pipelines

HOW DO WE KNOW IF WATER HAS RADIOACTVE WASTES ?
