Electricite de France SA’s oldest nuclear plant will be shut as soon as possible as a pilot for dismantling atomic sites, Energy Minister Delphine Batho said.
“Fessenheim will close as soon as possible under technically and socially responsible conditions that will guarantee security of electricity supply, transformation of the site and jobs,” Batho told France Info radio today. The timing will result from a national debate on energy in coming months.
