As I stroll from one castle to another on the banks of the Loire, I write in my notebook about the nuclear power plant of Saint-Laurent-des-Eaux:

"While passing Saint-Laurent-des-Eaux, I discovered a new kind of castle. Concrete has replaced freestone and large chimneys, more commonly known as cooling towers, evaporate thick masses of compact wadding. It is a heap of modern materials, ingeniously installed for the sole purpose of producing inexpensive and less carbon-intensive electricity. Two reactors of a model called CP-2 generate for one nine hundred and fifteen megawatts, for the other eight hundred and eighty. Annually, the two reactors create twelve thousand gigawatts, the estimated annual need for almost three million inhabitants. In other words, a technological feat.
