EDF Says Nuclear Industry in Difficult Position After Japan

Electricite de France SA Chief Executive Officer Henri Proglio said explosions at Japanese nuclear reactors have put the atomic industry in a “difficult situation.”

“We can’t erase the good of nuclear just by looking at the drama of a terrible accident,” Proglio said in an interview on RTL radio today. “It’s a difficult situation for any industry whatever it may be. All airplane accidents create difficulties for the aeronautical industry. It doesn’t end airplanes.”
