Pour en finir avec un mensonge d’État ! Deux Français sur trois vivent à moins de 75 kilomètres d’une centrale nucléaire alors que la menace d’un accident grave n’a jamais été aussi forte. Au-delà des discours si rassurants des défenseurs du nucléaire, la situation dans nos 19 centrales est plus que préoccupante. Comme le révèle cette enquête, de nombreux réacteurs ont très mal vieilli (notamment à Gravelines, au Bugey ou à Tricastin) : cuves fissurées, enceintes de «...
