France produces much of its electricity from nuclear. It used to be 75%, but it is less now with renewable coming online.
I guess France did a good job at educating/brainwashing its citizen because they do not worry much about their nuclear power plant. And the official track record has been good enough over the past ~60 years (first in 1962). There has been some green movement trying to shutdown some nuclear plants over the years, but lately it is more foreign green activists that complain about France recycling/vitrifying Japanese or German nuclear waste (arguably transporting waste around the world could be dangerous).
The technology improved a lot in the last 60 years. But years of anti-nuclear propaganda still make it difficult to talk about nuclear in a rational way.
