If you actually bothered to read the ASN reports, you'd see that it's because it was one of the most transparent plant, hence the higher numbers.

It is, which is why it was scaled for several times the biggest ever earthquake recorded (1365 IIRC, they derived the scale from models based on the damages it did).
ASN deemed its security "very satisfying", the rest is BS.
- eqvinox 6y agoAll of your arguments might be correct, and none of them matter to public opinion and politics. Maybe if they were less transparent, there would have been less political pressure from Germany... And I totally agree this is as dumb as it gets.
- steeve 6y ago"none of them matter to public opinion and politics" You are absolutely right. Which is why others way more qualified than I (climatologists, nuclear engineers) are trying to debunk those fallacious arguments and slowly people seem to realise. I'm doing my part. The very existence of this article and its present on HN front page is a sign that this is working.
- gmac 6y agoThe fact that we know we can rank French nuclear plants by their transparency level is already seriously screwed up.
- orwin 6y agoThat's not what he said. That's not what the rapport said.
