Areva to spend €2 billion on post-Fukushima safety improvements at its sites

by I-Nuclear
French nuclear company Areva said it plans to spend nearly €2 billion on the modernization of industrial plant equipment, deployment of new technologies and on the ongoing improvement of safety mechanisms as a response to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in March 2011.
In a statement June 28, Areva said it had submitted its technical and organisational proposals to the French nuclear safety authority (Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire - ASN) for reinforcing the safety of its sites in the event of extreme situations.
