Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron called Thursday for a "renaissance" for the country´s nuclear industry, saying he wanted up to 14 new reactors to power the country´s transition away from fossil fuels.

Acknowledging that France had hesitated on whether to continue investing in its atomic sector after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan, he called for a bold new bet on the technology alongside renewables.
