Colonial France carried out its nuclear tests, three gerbils February 13, 1960 in Reggane, in the Saharan regions difficult to clean of radioactivity, said Saturday in Adrar an expert in nuclear physics.

"The nuclear test was conducted by colonial France in the sixties (1960) open in the Saharan regions, difficult to clean radioactive emanations devastating effects to persist for thousands of years," said in a statement APS, El-Abboudi Kadham, a researcher in nuclear physics.

He noted that radioactive materials are "the most dangerous pollutants on the environment and climate as containing a mixture of deadly toxins produced dozens of dangerous radioactive products for health and the environment."

According to him, the French nuclear tests that had reached their peak after four trials in a region Saharan open up potential "100 times that of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the direct effects were identified in distant places in the region (South of Europe and the Ocean), plus showers carriers of radioactive materials stored Saharan and clouds reaching other parts of the world.
