Italian nuclear power: one of the companies in the race under indictment in France

The Areva , part of one of the two teams in pole position to build power plants in our country , together with Ansaldo , pressed by the French Government : See to it immediately to the treatment of waste in excess.

There are two groups who are already candidates to manage the game the Italian nuclear : Eni- EDF, Areva and Ansaldo . Only one of the two partners in this second rope appears to be in some trouble in France. He speaks today Monde , which refers to the giant atom of the ultimatum given by the French Nuclear : there will be a tight schedule for waste are disposed of as soon as the 25,000 cubic meters of nuclear waste poorly preserved in the Hague, in Normandy, where the company operates the largest toxic nuclear waste treatment plant in the world.

DELAYS - The ASN ( Nuclear Safety Authority , the guarantor of the atom French ) , says he is " concerned" about the delays in the disposal of waste persistently perpetrated by the company, and he intends to impose a " binding timetable for the resumption of treatments. " The slag indicted , says Le Monde , are the central Up2 -400 , active from 1966 to 2003 ; Now , Areva on the rump " 10,000 tons " of nuclear waste " intermediate level waste , but in the long run " from the plant decommissioned , compacted and packaged , and does not know what to do : some of them are also stored in inappropriate containers , as in the past it was not compulsory to take precautions particularly stringent . " These wastes are controlled , we are sure that they are not dangerous ," they tell ASN , " but we can not let that lapse , we are not going to let this situation continue for the next twenty or thirty years. Areva must quickly bring the waste and debris within the permissible limits " , partly because " it is from 1990 that tell us they would fix by 1997 , but nothing has changed . "

Row to hoe - " What a discovery ," says Anne Lauvergeon , head of Areva ; " Here we have a regional official of the agency that tells us what we should and what should not be . We are trying to resolve the situation, " he says. But, according to Le Monde , the ultimate solution proposed , or burying under 500 meters of land near Bure will not be delivered by 2025. Still mean problems for Areva , who only the day before yesterday after Standard & Poor's had downgraded the creditworthiness nuclear giant , for the long delay in the construction of a nuclear reactor in Finland ; installation for which the company had announced last week a correction of the forecast expenditure of 400 million euros, despite the four-year delay in construction . All this while Nicolas Sarkozy arrives on the desk of the dossier on new nuclear power stations to be built in France, to meet the growing energy needs.
