Article Header Design: “Niger: a New Severe Threat for the Future of France’s Nuclear Energy?”


The Context

⭕ This is the design I created for The Red Team Analysis Society article [🇬🇧 🇫🇷] titled:

Niger: a New Severe Threat for the Future of France’s Nuclear Energy?”

This design is the Fifth in the Uranium Series, following “Revisiting Uranium Supply Security”.

France has lost 47% of its potential uranium reserves.

It happened on June 19, 2024, when Niger has revoked French nuclear state company Orano’s mining permit for the Imouraren mine. It occurred at an era of renewal for nuclear energy starts globally and when France plans to add between 14 and 20 new EPRs to its current nuclear park.

What happened and what is at stake for France?

The Design

Marianne, symbol of France, is shot in plain heart. Right in the Nuclear Heart.

Through the filter of the flag of Niger, its orange disk is now a nuclear reticle that strikes down the French Republic through her breast, piercing it with the cancer of carelessness and lack of anticipation…

Soon, Delacroix’s Marianne, Liberty Leading the People, will be amputated and mutilated… and will no longer guide anyone. Its colors, once fresh and vibrant, are dulled by the loss of its energy and the weakness of its resolution, buried by the insipidness of technocratic mediocrity.

It will be little more than an ectopic museum piece, unsuitable for the energy challenge of tomorrow. One more trophy sacrificed on the altar of the arrogance of the Present and the blindness to the Future…

To harms, citizens,
Disband your battalions,
You won’t march anymore.
The immature
Gloat comes out from our bureaux…

Summary of the Topic

🔺 Detailed timeline of the unfolding of the disaster, starting with the Niger coup of July 26, 2023.

🔺 Detailed analysis of the issues for France and the consequences of the loss of the major Imouraren mine.

🔺 Recontextualization of this loss within global issues and the international race for nuclear energy by 2050.
