La surveillance des installations nucléaires au quotidien ? C’est grâce à vos dons que nous pouvons la mener !
Pour surveiller au jour le jour les incidents dans les installations nucléaires, les décrypter et dénoncer les risques permanents qui sont trop souvent minimisés - voire cachés par les exploitants, nous mobilisons tout au long de l’année des moyens humains et techniques.
Pour continuer ce travail de lanceur d’alerte et donner, au plus proche de leur survenue, des informations sur les inquiétants dysfonctionnements d’un parc nucléaire vieillissant, nous avons besoin de votre soutien financier !
