The Fukushima accident was a turning point for French energy policy, as it prompted the country to put forth legislation to reduce the share of nuclear power and accelerate renewable energy growth . Even so, France’s nuclear fleet remains intact and dominates the French energy sector with powerful political momentum . An explanation and outlook for the evident tension between the two realities is the goal of this research. By first examining how the French nuclear industry came to be so exceptionally powerful, the industry’s response to environmental, safety, and economic concerns is analysed . An outlook for the French nuclear industry within a new political framework is ultimately proposed . Based on a sociopolitical analysis, the nuclear industry currently overrides environmental and climate concerns by putting forward its low-carbon technology . The industry also controls safety concerns at the cost of extensive safety investments . However, this research shows that the finances that are currently keeping the industry afloat are ultimately creating an unstable economic situation . The balance of power between energy transition policy and nuclear industry growth is a question of economics over politics . LEARNING FRoM FuKuSHIMA
