Praise for La France nucléaire 1997: La France nucléaire "is a new basic reference tool making it possible
to study the industrial and technical nuclear context with its implications for
the environment... and to become acquainted with the actors who are
responsible for it." "What is made at La Hague? Who
manages Melox? What is the purpose of Orphée? The answers are in La France
nucléaire, matières et sites by Mary Byrd Davis where each person can
discover or better understand the meaning of uranium, a reprocessing plant, MOX
fuel. The geographic organization of the work allows readers to identify the
locations and the characteristics of installations. A book on the nuclear
industry addressed to laypersons as well as to experts!" "Conceived as an encyclopedic
work, [the book] situates facts within a view of the whole, and gives precise
meanings to names, terms, and figures. An indispensable tool for elected
representatives who are not well informed or who want to increase their
knowledge of the subject. Yggdrasil, a project of Earth Island Institute, has as its mission furthering global sustainability through research and public education. The name reflects its goal, as in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the world tree. The major current projects of Yggdrasil are the [U.S.] Uranium Enrichment Project and the French Nuclear Project, the latter represented by the website at hand.
