They are sitting on all this oil, but they desperately need nuclear power. Riiiiiiight. How many centrifuges do they have spinning already? To what percentage do you need to enrich uranium so you can put it in a warhead?
Vive la France. i didn’t think I would ever get those words out of my mouth.
More to the point, they are sitting on massive natural gas supplies which is ideal and far cheaper than nukes to run electic generators.
Clean, fast, effecint, cheap, and they are just flaring their gas.
There is NO reason for them to persue nukes, except to make bombs.
