Looks like we can build nuclear reactors quicker than Snowy2.
EDF CEO: New nuclear reactors in less than six years each.
The head of French energy utility EDF used his presentation of the latest financial results last Friday (July 26) to update the company’s nuclear ambitions: a target of 70 months to build a reactor – or half the current construction time.
CEO Luc Rémont announced that these individual reactors will be built in an average of 70 months, or just under six years.
“The faster we build, the more competitive we’ll be,” Valérie Faudon, general delegate of the French energy nuclear society, an association that defends nuclear, told Euractiv.
