After talks failed, SSANU issued a 14-day ultimatum before beginning the strike on November 2, 2026. Muhammad said members approved the action at a congress and that it was neither politically motivated nor intended to undermine the university administration.

FR-Alert: Nuclear emergency drill will trigger phone alerts in Gironde on November 12

Residents within 20 kilometres of the Blayais nuclear power plant in Gironde will receive an FR-Alert message on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as part of a national nuclear safety drill continuing the following day. The exercise will involve 80 municipalities in Gironde and Charente-Maritime, which will activate their local emergency plans. The prefecture says the alert is for educational purposes, is based on a fictional scenario and requires no action from residents; it will also be relayed on A10 motorway signs and radio station 107.7. Held every five years under France’s Internal Security Code, the drill will test the plant’s emergency response plan and raise public awareness of protective measures.
