Drones over France - the neverending story
The exact number of incidents with drones is difficult to call. It is not excluded that some of it were not reported in the press for reasons of secrecy. It is safe to say that it was at least 20 such flights.

Drones over France
The EDF company, the operator of alloperating nuclear power plants in France, recorded during October and November at least 16 cases of the appearance of drones over the area of the station.
Seven cases occur in November. During one of the October nights, almost simultaneously five (according to other sources, four) flights occurred.
Drones were observed in Penli, Flamanville, Fessenheim and a number of other sites. Besides plant, the mysterious owners interest the other nuclear facilities. On the night of 6 to 7 November 2014, the drone was flying over the nuclear center in Marcoule, bringing the total number of flights to 17.
Typically, drones occur at night. The police have no idea who runs it and for what purpose, says Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy Segolene Royal. All of this is happening during the escalating of the worldwide confrontation with radical Islamist groups.
On Wednesday, there was hope that the mystery will be revealed. The police arrested three young people with drone.

Seoul Nuclear Security Summit Blocks Nuclear Power Industry Development
In principle, the communique does not impose direct bans on the use of HEU. Even if it did, would other states listen? India, for one, is consistently implementing a national program for developing fast-neutron reactors, and to impose parameters of the nuclear fuel cycle on it would be too arrogant. This is why it is too early to judge whether this is ideology of first- and second-rate models of nuclear power engineering, which cements into place the dominance of leading nuclear producers.
However, it is quite possible to prevent fast-neutron technology from being adopted commercially by Third World countries under the pretext of countering the proliferation of highly enriched materials.
And the prospects of a dirty fight between the rival projects of fast-neutron reactors from different countries are simply breathtaking. Considering the limited potential for the construction of new units in the countries of the golden billion, pressure on foreign contractors will make European fast-neutron power engineering highly vulnerable to this form of competition.
