The
EDF Group said June 28 it is committed to implementing post-Fukushima
safety enhancements at its French nuclear plants to meet the
recommendations of the French nuclear safety authority, Autorité de
Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN).
Unlike Areva, which said June 28 it would spend
€2 billion to meet the ASN recommendations, a spokeswoman for EDF declined to provide a figure on EDF’s investment.
The
work, both on EDF’s existing plants and plants currently under
construction, is intended to increase robustness as well as to guarantee
additional safety margins for the facilities to deal with the risks
associated with earthquakes and floods; the simultaneous loss of the
cooling source and the electricity supply, and the consequences of
serious accidents, the company said in a statement.
