2007Disinformation: According to the network To leave the Nuclear power, EDF would have falsified seismic data to hide the weaknesses of its nuclear thermal power stations. Since 2003, EDF refuses to pay the 2 billion euros of work necessary to adapt the nuclear thermal power stations to the seismic risk. For example in Chinon (Indre and the Loire): EDF lowered office the value of the intensity of the seisms of reference; In Belleville (Expensive): EDF was authorized to take as reference a seism going back to 1079 for which there exists very little of data, drawing aside the seisms of reference (of 1933) which implied more constraining measurements; in Blayais (the Gironde) and the St. Lawrence of Water (Dormouse-and-Expensive): the figures of EDF are three times less constraining than those of the Institute of protection against radiation and nuclear safety. However Andre-Claude Lacoste, director of the nuclear Authority of safety gives reasons at EDF without justifying itself. EDF redefined with its manner the seismic zones in order not to have to hold account of certain seisms. Power stations of Dampierre (Loiret), Bugey (Ain), Fessenheim (Haut-Rhin), Civaux (Vienna), Saint-Alban (Isere), Golfech (the Tarn-and-Garonne), Nogent (Paddle) and Chooz (the Ardennes) also blamed.: Reuters
