Believe but verify.

My view is that the French people are okay with the cost of their 
electricity and if there were accidents the government could not have 
hushed it up; someone would have noticed and reported.

Disposal of radioactive waste is the primary challenge. France continues to 
deal with disposal and has found no acceptable long-term plan. Why not put 
the stuff in rockets and send them toward the sun? At some intermediate 
point it would disintegrate.
