MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The French nuclear power plant is accused of activity endangering people's lives and contributing to water pollution in a lawsuit filed to one of the Paris courts earlier in the day, Corinne Lepage was quoted by the Le Temps newspaper as saying.
Last year, Geneva warned it was likely to take hard stance on the Bugey NPP, which is located some 60 miles from the Swiss border, and is believed to be outdated and thus harmful to the environment.
The Bugey NPP, built in the 1970s, currently has four operating units, all being pressurized water reactors. The fifth reactor, which is currently being dismantled, was the last natural uranium reactor in the world.
