| The nuclear industry tries to interest European governments for a new generation of nuclear reactors: the European Pressurised Reacor, which is developed by the French Framatome and the German Siemens. However, the concept is not really new, it would be only 3% more efficient and, moreover, the disadvantages like "let"s shift the waste problem to future generations", remain. |

| Since 1960 Cadarche is a research center for the French nuclear industry. Next to that, the plant, located on a seismic crack, is also a depot for high radioactive waste. The participants of the Tour blocked the traffic through the entrance for a couple of hours to protest against the nuclear industry. |

| After the meltdown of the Chernobyl reactor in 1986 there was great panic for the radioactive cloud which spread over the continent. However, for France it wasn"t a problem, while the cloud stopped exactly at the border and moved to the south. That is what was told by the government to the people and what they believed to be true. |

unterwegs, vom 24.4. bis 23.5., und haben bisher ca. 40 min an Videoclips
darueber ins Netz gesetzt. Die Tour folgt der atomaren Kette und richtet
sich vor allem gegen den Bau eines neuen Reaktortypen, den EPR (European
Pressurized Reactor), ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Siemens und Framatome.
Ausserdem promotet die Tour alternative Energieformen. Frankreich ist
Europas groesster Atomstromlieferant und mit 58 Reaktoren zweitgroesste
Atommacht der Welt.
