(Reuters) - France needs to upgrade the protection of vital functions in all its nuclear reactors to avoid a disaster in the event of a natural calamity, the head of its nuclear safety agency said, adding there was no need to close any plants.
After Japan's Fukushima disaster in March, France, along with other European countries, decided to carry out safety tests on 58 reactors and its next-generation reactor under construction in northwestern France.
The aim was to test their capacity to resist flooding, earthquakes, power outages, failure of the cooling systems and operational managem

No need to worry, unless something happens that nobody can predict. That has NEVER happened before, we always know exactly what's around the corner. Yes, I am joking, simmer down on your angry replies. Fukushima, Chernobyl, the horrifying toxins I release after Taco Bell? Nah, don't worry. The cheese eating surrender monkeys have it all under control, unless something bad happens. What's with the huge push to get id of nuclear power? Well, probably big OIL. Also, can I get a U2U hug? The world is making me sad.
