Middle: Nuclear Counselor Jacques Figuet of the French Embassy in Washington DC, explaining the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site model to a visitor.
A science open day was held for the first time at the French Embassy in Washington DC on Saturday 12 May. ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ was presented through a scale model and brochures provided by the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization and Agence ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ France. Some 3700 visitors turned up, roughly three times more than was expected. From the reactions of the public it was clear that there was a keen awareness of climate change and a strong interest in nuclear energy, in particular in the French nuclear program. The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ model drew the attention of young and old.
