Following EDF’s announcement of the increase in the cost of the Flamanville 3 EPR™ reactor, AREVA Chief Executive Officer Luc Oursel wanted to return to this subject during a press conference held in Paris, France and to respond to journalists questions regarding this technologie.. On this occasion, Luc Oursel reiterated his conviction that the EPR™ reactor is is presently the safest, most competitive, and the preeminent reactor in the world. He underlined the fact that the cost of Flamanville 3 is not representative of the price of an EPR™ reactor in the series offered on the market today.
