If it is built in France, here's a GUARANTEE. Within the first 3 years, French employees wil strike, making it impossible to operate the facility for anywhere from a week to six months. They will strike over something like too little garlic in the corn flakes, the imposition of anti-body odor rules, clean up your dog's waste rules or something some guy in Poland did or said.

The French will push their neocommunist leaders to drop the work week ffrom 35 hours to 32.5 hours with even more holiday time, at a slight increase in aggregate pay. Why would you even visit France, much less establish a facility there?

in a choice between France and Japan, a specific factor must be weighed: Which nation contains fewer Muslims?

10 Years to build? What's the price-tag?

This is just a big experiment. France/Japan can have it...better yet, let them pay for it.

When fusion based power plants are economically viable the free-market will have them popping up all over.

If there is a chance that something could go wrong and eradicate all life for a 200 mile radius I vote for France.
