The French government is investigating a series of unidentified drone flights recently conducted over state-owned nuclear power plants. Unmanned aerial vehicles were spotted over seven different nuclear power plants around the country in a two-week period between October 5th and October 20th. The drones were reportedly commercial models, available for purchase by the general public, but it’s not yet clear who was behind the controls.

TECHi's Take
The French Interior Minister told French public radio on Thursday that the government has begun an investigation into who has been flying drones above as many as 10 nuclear power plants nationwide this month. “There’s a judicial investigation under way,” French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said in an interview on France Info radio. “Measures are being taken to know what these drones are and neutralize them.” Le Monde reported this week that the drones have been variable in size, with some “a few dozen centimeters” in size, while others had a diameter of up to two meters.
