BBC: Nuclear Europe: Country guide - United Kingdom
Working nuclear reactors 23
Reactors decommissioned / out of use 21
Electricity from nuclear power 20%The UK was the first country to use nuclear energy to generate power for large-scale civilian use, opening its first plant in 1956.
The last new reactor was opened in 1995, and Britain has been steadily decommissioning its old plants, with many set to close in the next few years.
BBC: Nuclear Europe: Country guide - France
Working nuclear reactors 59
Reactors decommissioned / out of use 11
Electricity from nuclear power 78%France has been Europe's most enthusiastic devotee of nuclear power, constructing dozens of reactors since the 1970s oil crises spurred on its desire for energy independence.
It has become the world's biggest net exporter of electricity
The UK's energy policy, on the other hand, is to become totally dependent on greenhouse gas imports from a Russia-led cartel.
The boys are all salty, the girls are all sweet. The food ain't too shabby & they piss in the street'. In the words of Frank Zappa...'there is no hell, there is only France!

Oh yes, I was forgetting about that one.
I went to Great Yarmouth once too. Never again.
