Description
This book is the history of these last 40 years of growth, from the Frederic Joliot patents in 1939 to the most recent connecting-up of the successive units of the French Programme to the network, in the 32 countries now having or shortly to have nuclear electric power. None of the links of the industrial chain are omitted: uranium extraction and refining, enrichment, fuel fabrication, power stations, reprocessing and definitive storage. It is also a history of media awareness and contestation. A series of appendices provides scientific, technical and technological information
