French nuclear power lobbyists used Fukushima smear campaign to promote own businesses

That is just sick! Japan, and the whole world was (and is still) in danger from what happened at Fukushima, and the nuclear power lobbyists wasted no time, they were hard at work trying to use the horrible state of Japan to advance more sales of their own nuclear reactor projects.

Less than a month after the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, illustrated brochures elaborating on the process leading up to the hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant were distributed to members of the U.S. Congress and government officials in Washington.

The leaflet sent shockwaves around Tokyo and Washington, as well as GE officials, who were busy responding to the nuclear crisis. Areva lobbyists stressed that the accident was peculiar to Japan when they handed out the leaflets, hinting that similar accidents would never occur with nuclear plant systems provided by Areva. It was obvious to the recipients of the brochures that they were part of Areva's maneuvering to quash its competitors in the nuclear power business.

Here is Areva distracting those responding to the biggest nuclear-crisis-to-date for their own business agenda. I don't know, maybe Areva should wait until they know if there is a planet left, before trying to drive another knife through the heart of Japan........
