...project for Finland's main utility, Teollisuuden Voima Oyj, is designed to showcase Areva's 3G earthquake- and missile-proof design, known as a European Pressurized Reactor. Areva spokesman Jacques-Emmanuel Saulnier said winning the contract over Westinghouse and GE-Hitachi was crucial to establishing the firm as the leader in advanced nuclear tech. "You only see how it works once you've built it and proved it's what you'd said it would be," he said. "That's why winning the Finnish contract and building the world's first third-generation reactor is so important...
...more efficient and safer than previous designs. But Areva's EPR boasts innovations that led the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists to call its design the only one with "the potential to be significantly safer and more secure against attack than today's reactors." Areva spokesman Jacques-Emmanuel Saulnier said the win was crucial to establishing the firm as the leader in advanced nuclear technology. "A nuclear installation is unique, because you can't simulate it on a computer or assemble and operate a prototype in a hangar," Saulnier says. "You only see how it works once...
...used to modernize existing reactors and help build new third-generation plants. And in an industry where experience is everything, the company may even be able to spin the setback in Finland as a valuable learning experience. By focusing on its latest reprocessing technology, which produces less waste, Saulnier says Areva aims to capture one-third of the new reactor construction market by 2030. "Even though 30% of a sector is big, we think environmental concerns, and the energy needs of the world's swiftly-growing population, will fuel robust activity for nuclear power," he says...
