GDF Suez SA, operator of seven nuclear reactors in Belgium, is keen to develop an Atmea reactor in France to increase the chances of exporting the technology as an alternative to the bigger EPR model.
“France needs a reactor in the middle range,” Chief Executive Officer Gerard Mestrallet told a parliamentary hearing in Paris today. “Trying to conquer world markets with just one product, the EPR, will be difficult because it’s high-end.”
