Oh yes indeed ! 75% of our electrical consumption is nuclear, and we wouldn't
have had so many powerplants without the seminal military research. And our
ballistic missiles are the grand-parents of Ariane... A very profitable
business indeed. Our military gear is still a great export product, too.
Plus, of course, it gave us peace of mind (sort of) in the middle of the cold
war. Paris is only 2~3 hours away from Moscow...
