 The French government denied any cover up on Friday over radiation levels
in the Pacific following its nuclear testing in the region, as discussions
were held in Paris about the legacy of the explosions. A two-day roundtable
meeting called by French President Emmanuel Macron in April began on
Thursday following fresh allegations that the testing between 1966-1996
caused hidden atmospheric and ground pollution.

 Algeria: French nuclear waste under the sand. This is one of the major
challenges in reconciling memories between France and Algeria. A subject
long buried in the sands of the Sahara: the pollution of southern Algeria

Algiers has just created an agency for the rehabilitation of the sites of
the old nuclear tests.
