cATtenOM

The Cattenom Nuclear Power Station is located in Lorraine in the Cattenom commune, France on the Moselle River between Thionville (10 km upstream) and Trier (80 km downstream). It is close to the towns of Luxembourg (35 km) and Metz (40 km).

The site consists of 4 Pressurized Water Reactors that were all built between 1979 and 1991 and have an electric output of 1300 MW each. The plant is a relatively modern and large nuclear power station. In 2006 it produced the third most electricity (34 TWh) of the nuclear plants in France behind Gravelines (34.4 TWh) and Paluel (34.9 TWh).

The plant employs about 1200 regular employees and about 1000 more during outage times.

Le Silence

IMPORTANT: View On Black

"Comme elle sort du silence, toute parole pour être reçue exige le silence.

Le vrai silence n'est donc point de ne pas parler ou de parler peu. Le silence qui n'est qu'absence de paroles est vide d'être, vide d'amour, vide de vie, en vérité le plus éloigné du vrai silence. Parler peu n'est que la disposition au véritable silence. Le vrai silence est une écoute."
