Three videos with French nuclear researcher Emmanuelle GALICHET
Emmanuelle Galichet is a French nuclear researcher working and teaching at the CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers). Here are 3 videos with her, over the subject of the French EPR and its successor EPR2 nuclear reactors families:
1. Nucléaire: cette technologie pourrait tout changer
In this interview (57 minutes), EG clearly speaks out why the development of the EPR was enormously slowed down and hindered by the German collaborators (Siemens), who pushed into ever more baroque security and construction features.
For the new EPR2 successor, the French are free from German interferences, as the latter have (foolishly) abandoned civil nuclear energy; so this EPR2 will reach maturity much faster and at a lower cost.
2. Comment l'EPR de Flamanville aura pris 12 ans de retard?
Interview with Sud-Radio (6 minutes)
3. L'énergie enjeu majeur au 21ième siècle
Conference on energy and nuclear energy (1h:12min); see at 1:01 for the differences of the different generations of nuclear reactors
