Damien Girard, the mayor (SE) of Pontfaverger-Moronvilliers (Marne) attacked the state on Friday before the administrative court of Châlons-en-Champagne.

The elected official requests that the defense secret be removed around a site belonging to the army, reports France 3 Grand Est.

On this site, the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA, which became the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission in 2010), which left the premises in 2013, carried out experiments for several years.

These tests consisted of testing the detonators of atomic bombs.

The mayor fears that this activity could have polluted the soil with radioactivity.

The CEA structures were removed, but the mayor never had access to the radioactivity measurements that could be made.

He would like to make some independently;

but the site where 2.7 t of uranium are stored is closely monitored.

“We are waiting for the State to recognize soil pollution”

“10-15 years ago, we were led to believe that it was pyrotechnic explosions with metals.

But it was not gunpowder and a bit of lead,” the mayor told our colleagues.

“It was beryllium, uranium, tritium.

And today, there are even traces of plutonium.

We are waiting for the State to recognize the soil pollution.

The administrative court will make its decision on April 1.
