Utilities Enel and EDF have announced their plan for the joint development of a fleet of at least four EPRTM nuclear reactors in Italy
– By Mark McFadden –
AREVA expresses its pleasure at this announcement and is honored by the trust these two major customers have placed in it. With four EPRTM units under construction around the world, the technology's performance is confirmed. This brings the total number of utilities who have chosen the reactor to 10.
AREVA enjoys close relationships with its Italian partners. For instance, the group won a used fuel treatment contract valued at more than 250 million euros from Sogin in May 2007. Discussions concerning new industrial partnerships are currently underway with certain suppliers.
