Fourbarewalls Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 For the past 2 years we have enjoyed lazy days around all the lakes throughput the Creuse, especially on hot summers days there is nothing better then dipping into the cool lake water to cool down. concerns were raised yesterday by another brit that we met round the pool to say that they had stopped swimming in the lakes due to rumours of Uranium contamination.Now back home there are not many lakes I would swim in, but here in france everyone seems to enjoy the natural pools, What are your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Given the flow and size of the Creuse and the length! any contamination would be highly diluted, unless there is a particular spot "they" are referring too?Where is the nearest nuclear power staion? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/04/french-nuclear-power-plant-explosion-safety-fears?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 They banned swimming in the Descartes stretch the other year due to possible Weil's disease.

andyh4 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think the problems relate to naturally occurring Uranium and the impact of former Uranium miningThis will give some idea of the locations involved across Francehttp://www.wise-uranium.org/uddfr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
