Directors of the French utility, Electricite de France (EDF) have authorised Chairman/CEO Francois Roussely to begin taking steps towards launching the process which will lead to the construction of a head-of-series EPR (European Pressurised Water Reactor). Roussely will meet with regional officials interested in hosting the unit and report back to the board by August 1, EDF said. EDF will then apply to the National Commission for Public Debate to launch the required public consultation on the project. Following the consultation process, regulatory procedures would ensue. Construction of the reactor is likely to last a projected 57 months. |
