Sunday October 22, an anti-nuclear demonstration took place in Chinon,in Indre-et-Loir, in front of the nuclear power plant, to oppose thearrival of two EPRs on the site. Our on-site reporter gives us anupdate. ---- Mobilization was very weak in the sector, no information onthe markets and a single and miserable poster seen on the municipaldisplay of Cravant les Coteaux, however two EPRs are planned on the siteof the old power station. As a result, there were less than forty peoplepresent on Sunday in front of the Chinon/Avoine CNPE. The assembly madeup of white hair and a few cool babas confined to the roundabout at theentrance to the power plant remained very well behaved. No leaflets forthe participants or the motorists, no traffic slowdown (shouldn't bedisruptive anyway) and not even any slogans or speeches. There werestill a few banners stamped Sortir du Nucléaire, but despite the goodweather the picnic announced did not take place, too bad we had broughtback some wine (sorry from Chinon). Attempts to communicate withordinary people proved not to be very fruitful and two hours afterstarting the organizers left the premises in complete calm.However, we did not waste our afternoon. The very informative visit tothe surroundings of the power plant made us discover the magnificentgreenwashing operation embodied by the giant greenhouses of the Jardinsde Rabelais sic, a market gardening entrepreneur whose greenhousespowered by hot water from the power plant constitute one of the largestsites of tomato production in the Loire Valley. The icing on the cake isthat the site is in the process of obtaining an organic label. Not veryfar from these nuclear tomatoes is the traditional EDF ecothèque,flanked by a gayfriendly pizzeria as evidenced by the numerous Raimbowflags decorating the facade. Finally, for the unemployed who haveescaped the joys of viticulture, they can rest assured that a trainingcenter specifically dedicated to nuke professions (taps, welding, etc.)will be able to put them back on the right path to employment. Obviouslyafter wandering around this magnificent park it didn't take long beforethe Pandoras showed up and came to inquire about our identity and thereasons for our visit.The return to Avoine confirmed our habit of nuclear towns, an impeccablecity without soul and full of collective and sports equipment withoutany relation to the number of its inhabitants, juicy detail the localcollege is called Henri Becquerel poor kids!J.M.http://oclibertaire.lautre.net/spip.php?article4023_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
