The idea that France is energy independent thanks to nuclear power is a myth : the uranium which supplies the civil and military nuclear industry comes in large part from the African subsoil. Raphaël Granvaud details the conditions under which France and Areva procure it at the best price, at the cost of political interference and environmental consequences, a health and social disaster for the local population.
