10 Jul 2009
The visit of two work sites, the Jules-Horowitz Research Reactor (RJH) on the CEA premises and ITER, were on Jean-Noël Guerini's agenda last Wednesday in Cadarache. The president of the Conseil Général of the Bouches-du-Rhône département was greeted by director Serge Durand and ITER Director-General Kaname Ikeda. President Guerini said he was "in favour of nuclear energy provided it goes along with maximum safety measures," and thanked both CEA and ITER for providing "economic opportunities and jobs for the residents of our region."
