	CEA - Center of Cadarache (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Cadarache is a research center of the CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique).
		Located in Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance (Bouches-du-Rhône), the CEA research center of Cadarache, created on 14th October 1959, is forty kilometers north of Aix-en-Provence and is at the crossroads of four departments (Alpes de Haute-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse).
		The activities of the CEA research center of Cadarache are shared out among several technological R&D platforms, essentially devoted to nuclear energy (fission and fusion), but also to new technologies for energy and studies on the effects of radiation on plant life (plant ecophysiology and microbiology).

	Uranium Enrichment and Fuel Fabrication - Current Issues (France)
		The Cadarache mox fuel factory, which has been instructed to cease its activity because it does not comply with seismic safety regulations, is expected to close at the end of 2002 or early in 2003, according to the French nuclear safety agency ASN.
		A 1994 survey showed that the area round Cadarache, near the mouth of the river Rhône, had experienced a "significant growth" of seismic activity since the end of 1993, and that "destructive" earthquakes could be expected to recur once a century.
		The increase compensates for the shutdown of the Cadarache MOX fuel plant.
