There was some embarassement the next day about both of their pronouncements on nuclear energy, with some of the major papers picking up on their mistakes. Le Monde published the following (my translation, so bear with me)...

Both candidates demonstrated certain weaknesses in their knowledge of civil nuclear issues. During a confused exchange on nuclear energy, Segolene Royal accused her adversary of a "series of errors": "That can happen, but you will need to revise this subject matter!". Actually, both candidates showed certain weaknesses in their knowledge of civil nuclear issues. The share of nuclear power in French electricity products is not, in fact, 17%, as claimed by Segolene Royal, who, on Thursday, on France Inter [Radio Station] admitted to "a lapse". But neither is it 50%, as claimed by Mr. Sarkosy.

In fact, the number is 78% - you can find the information on Bloomberg over here.
