(Boursier.com) – EDF does not preclude taking a majority stake in the activity “Reactor” nuclear group Areva write this Friday ‘The Echoes’ and ‘Le Figaro’ … Nuclear giant financial difficulties would be refocused on its activities “fuels” nuclear. The activity “reactors”, corresponding to the former Framatome and renamed Areva NP, involves the engineering of reactors (design) and manufacturing of components for nuclear power plants.

open questions

The operation, however, is far from done and many questions are still open around such a scheme, including its governance, underline ‘Les Echos’. Other scenarios are circulating, including that of a limited approximation to the engineering of reactors, which would seem to be preferred Areva. For its part, ‘Le Figaro’ specifies that the State, the two companies controlling shareholder, expects their copy next week to complete the entire Areva recovery plan in July.

After the announcement in early March by Areva, heavy losses of 4.8 billion euros in 2014, the government had ordered Areva and EDF, its biggest customer, to find more ” convergence “between their activities.

If the hypothesis of a rapprochement in the reactors was validated, it would end the nuclear Trades integration strategy advocated by the Areva management from creation group, born in 2001 from the merger of Cogema, Framatome and Technicatome.
