Since 2013, in the middle of a public debate, it has been launching calls for tenders and concluding contracts to entrust various large companies and consortia with the design and engineering of the different subsystems envisaged. On the technical level, the project is so insane that everything was at the time to be imagined: containers to store waste, technologies to bring it down and &#8220;tidy up&#8221;, machines to dig the galleries, ventilation and piping system to evacuate radioactive waste into the air and water, site supply with water&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A huge project on the program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the project is authorized, the work of Cig\u00e9o would be titanic and five villages could be erased from the map.

In Bure, she aims to participate in the descent into hell of radioactive waste.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is in a former industrial hangar in Froncles, a small town in the heart of Haute-Marne, that the company POMA builds a prototype of the funicular that would be used to bring down radioactive waste into the Cig\u00e9o: a funicular railway 4.2 kilometers long that would take the poisoned packages to a depth of 500 meters.<\/p>\n<p>This contract, the company POMA obtained it in 2014, during calls for tenders conducted by ANDRA for storage engineering (in the midst of public debate, let us remember). It should have carried out this test bench in Is\u00e8re, but ANDRA was able to find the words for the construction to be done in the Bure sector. The 900,000 euros offered by the GIP of Haute-Marne to promote this establishment are of course not for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>We see in this funicular a priority issue, in its own right, in the fight to be waged against the Cig\u00e9o project. In addition to the important symbolic charge it constitutes, it is a key piece for Andra, essential for filing its application for authorization of creation (DAC). One of the cornerstones of the proof of concept. No funicular, no Cig\u00e9o.<\/p>\n<p>Company well established in the French landscape, POMA specializes in the manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, its name is not unknown in many regions of France. In the Alps, where it has installed and maintains more than a thousand ski lifts in winter sports resorts but also in urban areas. It has some notorious installations to its credit, notably in funiculars like the one in Montmartre. Flourishing and world champion of cable transport, it has already built more than 8000 installations in 91 countries. Asia has just opened its doors to it: even in the midst of an economic crisis, it is doing well, as reported in this article by the newspaper Le Point where it is described as a &#8220;French gem&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But wouldn\u2019t the &#8220;nugget&#8221; be in full compromise by linking her name to a technologically and politically controversial project? While the company holds its brand image, why take the risk of significantly damaging it by associating it with nuclear waste? Why would this diversification of activities fear the snowmelt and global warming to revert to the slums of the French nuclear industry?<\/p>\n<p>We are launching a broad call for action: act wherever possible to let it be known that POMA is NUCLEAR, that POMA wants to BURY nuclear waste.<\/p>\n<p>Question the company that takes responsibility for Cig\u00e9o on social networks, by phone, live.
