That is exactly correct, France has never been know to be particularly
forthcoming with
all the details on safety violations and problems in their plants. They are
in the position now
of being completely reliant upon nuclear power because of their high
percentage of use, and a major scandal closing plants would be devastating.
They
also could damage their technology sales to other countries if these facts
became public knowlege.
