Public opinion seems less averse to it; states are developing new projects and ambitious nuclear programmes; and prospects in terms of resources (particularly, uranium) and technological developments seem set fair. <\/p>\n<p>After surveying the field and examining these various aspects, Pierre Bonnaure also reminds us of the remaining stumbling blocks: the question of radioactive waste, the lack of qualified labour in this sector and the funding difficulties. However, in these areas, it only needs states to make a substantial investment to consolidate an energy sector that has a bright future, provided it is assured of a technological research potential and safety conditions commensurate with the risks inherent in nuclear power.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The autumn of 2010 has, in its turn, brought a trial of strength between anti-nuclear protestors and the authorities \u2013 in this case, over the train transporting 123 tons of nuclear waste between La Hague in France and Dannenberg in Germany.
