Les cahiers Histoire de l'ASN #01

This first issue of “Les Cahiers Histoire de l'ASN” is devoted to the subject of “nuclear accidents”. Although some nuclear accidents are well known, to the extent moreover that the name of the site is now part of everyday language, others represent distant memories or have been completely forgotten. This is the case with two accidents at Saint-Laurent-des-Eaux described in this issue. We have a duty to build up a collective memory that can be used by future generations.
