3つ記事を転載。最初はフランスがITERを勝ち取ったと言うニュースとITERの説明。
次が反ITER派の見解で、小柴教授の「ITERは危険で経済的に割に合わない」と言う話を引き合いにしている（小柴先生の天文学も天文学的予算が要る割にただ楽しいだけじゃん、なんて言ってると経済官僚の締め付けに手を貸してしまうだけだから止めよう。それに高エネルギー天文学は原子力みたいに危険じゃない）。ITERは「牧歌的」なだけで雇用も生まないし、何より危ないのはカラダシュには断層が通っているのだとある。
最後の記事がシラクの声明で、インドや中国等新興産業国のおかげでエネルギーの危機に直面しようとしているからITERは必要だ、と発言した。

France edges out Japan to win futuristic nuclear project
MOSCOW, June 28 (AFP) - France is to host the experimental ITER nuclear fusion reactor, a multi-billion-dollar project designed to emulate the power of the Sun, the six partners in the project agreed on Tuesday, after Japan withdrew its rival bid.
"Under this declaration, France is chosen as the site," said Antonia Mochane, spokeswoman for EU Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik, at a signing ceremony in Moscow attended by the European Union, the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea and China.
Japan earlier withdrew its bid to host the EUR 10 billion, 30-year project after intense wrangling, clearing the way for the site of Cadarache, in southern France.
The Japanese site, Rokkasho-mura, had been supported by Washington and Seoul, while Cadarache in France was favoured by Moscow and Beijing.
French President Jacques Chirac said he was "delighted" by the designation of France to host the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).
Hailing the choice of Cadarache as "a great success for France, for Europe and for all the partners in ITER," Chirac said he would visit the southern site on Thursday.
Chirac also thanked the European Commission and EU member countries as well as Russia and China for their "unfailing support in the negotiations".
The vision behind the ITER project is of a world where energy will be cheap, clean, safe and almost infinite.
Instead of splitting the atom -- the principle behind current nuclear plants -- the project seeks to harness nuclear fusion: the power of the Sun and the stars.
Alexander Rumyantsev, the head of Russia's atomic energy agency, said details of the financing still had to be resolved.
However under earlier discussions the European Union was expected to shoulder 40 percent of the cost and France 10 percent, with the rest to be shared out between the other partners.
Japan also secured a deal to construct the project's main research facility in Japan and to set aside 20 percent of jobs at the head office, including ITER's top post, for Japanese nationals.
The French president also said he had written to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to assure him that Japan's interests in the project will be "fully taken into account".
ITER was conceived at an international summit in 1985 as a test bench to see whether fusion can be taken out of the lab and help meet the world's energy needs from the middle of the 21st century.
The science behind the project presents an immense technological challenge, since fusing together atomic nuclei will require a gas field heated to 100 million degrees inside an intense magnetic field.
But the result, scientists hope, will be a plentiful energy supply that will compensate for diminishing reserves of oil, coal and natural gas. One of the hydrogen isotopes needed to fuel the process is found in water while the other can be man-made.
After the construction programme, experiments would start around the middle of the next decade and continue for some 20 years, testing ITER for technological feasibility, safety, health and waste management. The reactor would then be decommissioned.
If this experimental machine is successful, a demo fusion power plant would be built in the mid-2030s, and -- if all goes well -- the first commercial fusion plant would be created mid-century to assess economic feasibility.

French ecologists dismayed by ITER project win
MARSEILLE, France, June 28 (AFP) - Environmental groups expressed dismay on Tuesday at the decision to build the international ITER experimental nuclear power station in southern France, calling it a dangerous and costly installation.
"We are against the project because it's very dangerous and will not create jobs in the region," the head of the Mediane environmental group, Jean Marcon, said.
An umbrella association including Mediane and other groups, Sortir du Nucleaire (Get Out of Nuclear Energy), also claimed the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor was a hazard because scientists did not yet know how to manipulate the high-energy deuterium and tritium hydrogen isotopes used in the fusion process.
The environmentalists highlighted a warning from Masatoshi Koshiba, a Japanese scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2002, that ITER did not meet "a certain number of conditions, namely safety and economic costs" for it to be considered the dream energy of the future.
"ITER will never produce electricity. Maybe, well after ITER, another reactor in 100, 150 or 200 years will do so -- but that's far from certain," a Sortir du Nucleaire spokesman, Stephane Lhomme, said.
"The reality is that fusion is, at the very least, idyllic," he added.
His association also emphasised that Cadarache, the site chosen for the reactor, was on a seismic fault line.

Chirac calls ITER essential for planet's future
CADARACHE, France, June 30 (AFP) - French President Jacques Chirac on Thursday hailed a decision to build a multi-billion-dollar nuclear fusion reactor in southern France as vital to the planet's future, praising European solidarity in sealing the deal.
"This project is essential for our future and the future of the planet," Chirac told some 1,500 invited guests after a two-hour visit of the Cadarache site, chosen Tuesday to host the ambitious experimental nuclear fusion reactor.
"Today, our energy consumption has put us in danger. It's mainly based on oil, gas and coal," he said, resources that are increasingly in demand "due to the emergence of new major economic powers like China and India".
The French president said the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) -- designed to emulate the power of the sun -- would help the world "move toward development of energy sources of the future".
"The long-term goal is to obtain for humanity a source of abundant energy, energy that will not harm the environment".
Nuclear fusion produces no greenhouse gas emissions and low levels of radioactive waste.
The six ITER partners -- the European Union, the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea and China -- agreed on Cadarache after Japan withdrew its bid to host the EUR 10 billion, 30-year project.
In return, the EU has promised Japan 20 percent of staff posts and 20 percent of construction contracts for the project, as well as support for a suitable Japanese candidate for the post of ITER director general.
Chirac praised his EU partners for working together during negotiations to secure the ITER project, noting that the positive result "proves that when Europe is solid and sticks together, it can do exceptional things".
He jokingly wondered aloud why Britain had not attempted to see the ITER reactor built on its soil, saying: "I never asked the question, so as not to give them any bad ideas".
