http://www.euronews.net/ A French nuclear safety watchdog says tens of billions of euros need to be spent to improve security at the country's nuclear installations. It describes the necessary investment as 'massive' but says no facility needs to be shut down immediately.

The French Nuclear Safety Agency, (ASN), also told operators to come up with a list of measures to take to be able to deal with floods or earthquakes, such as building emergency generators and bunkers.
