Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
France committed almost completely to nuclear power in the '70s, after the OPEC oil embargo, determined not to be a hostage to volatile oil prices. It reprocesses fuel and sells quite a bit of power to the rest of Europe.
Do they do anything different with their plant design? Or is it just standard biz as usual in their plants and protocols?
On the other hand, I do always assume they're dating whoever they're standing next to.

Sorry to hear about your father's scare, Sue. Here's some on the mend ~ma and home soon ~ma.
Years ago, they served wine with lunch in plant restaurants.
Even with all the context, it took me a minute to understand what plant restaurants were. And that they didn't serve mulch & fertilizer with the wine.
(Well, I assume they didn't. I'm not judging.)
So... I should probably get some sleep? That seems likely.
Heh, Strega! I thought the same thing.
Sue, here's some -ma for your Dad. Heart medicine is so advanced these days, they're probably going to be able to "fix" him for many more happy years. ::crosses fingers::
Best wishes to your dad, Sue. And I agree with Theo on Modern Medicine....
Kat, you and the kids all look great!
Happy Belated Allyson!
Happy Fourth Noah & Grace! I can't believe four years have flown by so fast.
Today at coffee hour after church, a fiftyish guy I've seen every now and then for the past couple of months came over to say hi and praise Matilda's cuteness and sweetness -- all well and good, but did he really need to preface it by pointing at me, at her, and at me again and saying, "Soooo.... are you the mommy or the grandma?"
Dude! I've had that happen once--a checkout lady assumed I was G-ma. I'm fairly sure DH has been mistaken for a grandfather due to his extremely gray hair.
Happy Birthday, Allyson (late)! Happy Birthday, Noah & Grace (also late?)!
If I am with either of my sisters, they are often assumed to be the grandmother to whatever children we are with, and, sometimes in the case of my eldest sister who has every Spanish/Portuguese gene showing itself in her olive skin, etc., with the rest of us being fair - she is taken for their nanny and me their mother.
Happy 4-year olds, Kat!
Man, I do walk better with the brace and shoes that fit - but my foot is protesting being used the way its supposed to rather than it's old over-pronating ways.
I have to say this here so I don't say it out loud: Man, I am so disappointed my coworker didn't get engaged this weekend! They were in NYC for her 30th bday, and a couple of months ago she had evidence that he was looking at rings online. Ah well. (This is a couple that hardly needs to get married -- they've been together forever already. But still!)
