- Description
- Episode Description
- "'France Goes Nuclear' -- While Three Mile Island has brought U.S. nuclear energy development to a virtual standstill, the French nuclear program is going forward at such an accelerated pace that, by the year 2000, experts project about 90% of the electricity in France will by nuclear-generated. Ben Wattenberg visits nuclear power plants, talks with leading figures in France's nuclear industry, and examines the controversy surrounding 'breeder' reactors -- which generate more nuclear fuel than they use."--1980 Peabody Awards entry form.
