The French President's promotion of nuclear interests in India, has got the greens worried. Environment NGO, Greenpeace worded out a strong condemnation of the French President Francois Hollande's promotion of India's nuclear ambitions.

A French multi-national having expertise in nuclear energy is to build two European pressurised reactors (EPR) at Jaitapur in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district. Jaitapur has been a hotbed of protests against the nuclear reactors for the last few years now. After the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan, the protests grew more vehement.


A release sent by Greenpeace said that Hollande has come into power after promising to reduce his country's reliance on nuclear energy. "Hollande had come to power with the promise of reducing France's reliance on nuclear energy from current level of 75 per cent to 50 per cent by 2025. However, France has been pushing the Indian government on reactor costs," the release said. Greenpeace called Hollande's stance "hypocritical".
