After we recorded this episode, French President Macron announced plans to build up to 14 reactors by 2050. But earlier in the week, EDF announced that it would cut its available 2022 nuclear output by about 5% to between 295 and 315 TWh, a record low.

Guests:

  • Chris Eales, Editor France, Montel
  • Paolo Coghe, CEO, Acousmatics
