Do not give a damn about "standardized" cancers that are falling in France.

Globally, cancer is on the rise.


"Nothing to give a fuck about" standardized "cancers which are declining in France"

However you tried to make us believe your canards on the registers of cancers which would have mysteriously disappeared in France, on the studies banned from publication by the "superiors", in short you tried to make us believe that we are in full plot to hide an "incredible increase" in cancers in France. And now that you have the facts in front of you, you don't give a fuck!

… Well no ! Cancers are decreasing in France, unlike your stories.
(Cancers in France in 2015 - Key facts and figures - Institut National du Cancer - 2016)

And the standardized number is also decreasing in the world, contrary to your canards:

Obviously if you don't give a damn about the facts, you will continue to tell tales.

You have understood nothing or worse, you pretend to understand nothing. The missing registers are ancient history and concern Chernobyl and the concealment organized by the public authorities. Go back to your trash site telling shit to gullible people.

Risk of saturation of nuclear pools: EDF will invest 1,25 billion

AFP published on 18 Feb 2021

EDF estimates at 1,25 billion euros "the investment" necessary to build an additional pool of spent nuclear fuel at La Hague, in order to respond to the risk of saturation of the current basins, we learned Thursday from the business.

This amount is "included in the financial trajectory of the company", assured EDF. It provides for the construction of a basin with a capacity of 6.500 tonnes of fuel, next to the current Orano pools in La Hague, where 10.000 tonnes of spent fuel are cooled in French power stations. La Hague is therefore the site with the highest concentration of radioactivity in Europe.

The commissioning of the first basin is scheduled for 2034, said EDF. France faces a need for additional storage by 2030, recalls the company.

A second basin is planned as a second step.

The swimming pool "would be built on a plot belonging today to Orano and which would become the property of EDF", specified the company during a local information committee on the nuclear site in La Hague.

The construction work "will mobilize an average of 300 people with a peak of around 500 people at the height of the civil engineering site," said EDF, the project owner.

From commissioning, "over a hundred years of operation, the installation will create around 100 jobs on the site (EDF and suppliers)," the company said.

The Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) issued a positive opinion in July 2019 on this basic nuclear installation (BNI) project, according to EDF.

On October 8, however, the nuclear gendarme asked for "temporary measures to prevent the saturation" of current swimming pools and "considered necessary that the technical and safety options of a dry storage solution", commonly practiced abroad but not in France, to him "are presented".

Orano: large contract for the return of nuclear waste to Germany

AFP published on August 19, 2021

The French nuclear group Orano announced Thursday that it had signed a contract worth more than one billion euros for the return to Germany by the end of 2024 of nuclear waste that has been processed in France.

The contracts with the electricians PreussenElektra, RWE, ENBW and Vattenfall concern "the return of all German nuclear waste still stored in the Orano La Hague plant" (Manche), Orano explains in a press release.

This announcement thus marks the formalization of an agreement in principle that was announced in mid-June by the two governments, German and French.

According to French law, nuclear waste that enters France, in particular to be treated there at the Orano plant in La Hague (Manche), cannot remain in France over time.

German electricians had in the past called on Orano (at the time Cogema) for the treatment and recycling of their spent fuels, for a quantity representing 5.310 tonnes.

According to usual practice, it is not actually the same waste as that which entered France that will be returned but "the equivalent in mass and radioactivity".

“More than 97% of the total radioactivity has already been returned,” explains Orano.

"After consultation between the German utilities and Orano, with the agreement of the German and French authorities, the remainder of radioactivity and mass equivalents will be returned in the form of high-level vitrified waste and used packaging by 2024" , explains the group.

The agreement unveiled in June provided that instead of sending intermediate radioactive waste back to Germany, as was initially planned, France would finally send high level waste back there.

It will therefore take less volume and less time to send the same level of radioactivity back to Germany.

All the contracts "will contribute from time to time to the improvement of Orano's 2021 results", indicates the company, which is thus revising its financial outlook upwards.

The company is counting in particular on a "strong" one-off growth in its turnover, which until now was simply expected to rise.
