Marcel Boiteux: Builder of the World's Greatest Nuclear Fleet

Marcel Boiteux, a shy economist who escaped occupied France to
fight the Nazis before working out the theory of electricity
pricing for newly-nationalized Electricite de France, rose to
become the greatest builder of nuclear power the world has ever
seen.


Mark Nelson, founder of Radiant Energy Group, explains what
forces shaped his mind, his role in the fateful "War of the
Nuclear Systems," how he prepared for the oil crisis that
triggered the "all nuclear" Messmer plan, and how he survived an
ecoterrorist attack to construct the famous nuclear fleet that
now lies underused and underappreciated.


Can France rediscover its greatest engineering hero, who died
last year at the age of 101, in time to rescue itself and indeed
all of Europe from its energy death spiral?
