President Nicolas Sarkozy says France will invest (EURO)1 billion ($1.4 billion) in nuclear energy despite a rise in concern about atomic safety following Japan's nuclear disaster.
Sarkozy says a moratorium on new nuclear reactors, as some countries have declared since the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident, "makes no sense."
He said Monday, "there is no alternative to nuclear energy today."
