Show I-- The Herald Journal Logan Utah Sunday March 3 1985 Cold snap quiets France’s nuke industry critics PARIS (UPI) — The cold map that plunged France into an extraordinary deep freeze this winter has revived the debate on whether the country’s nuclear industry grew too big too fast The frigid temperatures bolstered the position of France’s state-ru- n electricity authority which had been under fire for expanding beyond French electrical needs France7 ambitious nuclear program — launched in 1973 to beat the huge price jumps in oil — made it the second largest producer of power in the world after the United States Within a decade 34 nuclear units were functioning across the country most of them French-bui- lt pressurized water reactors fueled on uranium The state-ru- n Electricite de France (EDF) boasted the program gave consumers "the cheapest power in Europe" a cocky statement in a country that has virtually no domestic oil supplies The political benefits were also plain Instead of importing half its energy needs as it did before 1973 nuclear energy allowed France to provide 75 percent of its requirements and 85 percent of its electricity France began exporting power to other European countries and adopted ambitious plans to electrify Third World nations by selling them packages of cheap reactors and nuclear fuel But the program eame under heavy fire last year from critics who charged it had created gross overcapacity and unnecessary debt in a mass-produc- ed ng salicylates to containing children Aspirin may be harmful when to children with given influenza-lik- e

fever have been suspected as a contributing cause of Reye syndrome “Given the serious nature of the syndrome and the fact that But the discovery of new uranium deposits and the depressed world market for the ore undercut the need for Superphenix which produces electricity at 2 Vi times the cost of conventional units The EDF president admitted the project was “tougher than we had thought” One

than it consumes in g the process was as a hedge from inclement weather” Officials at the utility predict France's nuclear program will accelerate again in the late 1980s when older equipment will need replacement and Western economies are expected to improve A number of questions remain unanswered initial symptoms include it is not necessary to treat most persistent vomiting and fevers with

aspirin with the Reye syndrome is not conclusive medical professionals suggest parents avoid giving aspirin or other medication the stallation this year and "one or two” next But the January cold
