Good news to hear that France is not stopping development and implementation of its next-gen nuclear reactor.
"FRANCE'S energy minister on Wednesday denied that a plan to build a second latest generation EPR nuclear power station had been put on hold, as the head of the country's biggest energy firm had claimed.
Energy Minister Eric Besson was reacting after Christophe de Margerie, the boss of oil giant Total, which will own 8.33 per cent of the Penly plant, told a news magazine that the construction calendar had been abandoned.
'Contrary to what Christophe de Margerie suggests, the Penly EPR project has absolutely not been blocked,' Mr Besson told AFP.
