Is France leading the way on nuclear?

31/07/2023 GMT

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Is France leading the way on nuclear?

We explore whether it's the answer to current and future energy worries.

The country produces 70% of it's electricity this way - and is the global leader.

It's aiming to prolong the lifespan of its 56 existing nuclear reactors – and construct additional ones.

President Macron is calling it "the nuclear renaissance" of France.

However some people still have concerns over the safety measures in place.

So how much sense does France's nuclear strategy make, economically speaking?

Produced and presented by Lisa Louis.
