How many vital forces will be needed to relaunch the construction of new nuclear reactors? This is the very political question to which the Gifen – the professional union of nuclear companies – tried to answer in a report submitted to the government this Friday, while France must commit to the construction of six new reactors of the type EPR by the end of 2027.
