Note that the sad state of French nuclear is of course mainly due to internal incompetence (and mismanagement, Anne Lauvergeon should probably be in jail) and poor planning. However, the Areva-Siemens (and Alstom) quagmire, and the insane electricity market liberalization pushed by the EU have also played a role. German policies not only managed to destroy domestic nuclear, but also cripple the French.
