AREVA CEO Anne Lauvergeon was out in California yesterday, speaking to business and community leaders about the potential to build one or two U.S. EPR™ reactors around the Central Valley area near Fresno. In addition to providing clean, baseload energy, the nuclear plants could be part of a Clean Energy Park that would also include solar and desalination plants for clean water. But a key aspect of the proposed project is jobs. The construction and operation of a nuclear facility has the potential to generate over 10,000 jobs and millions of dollars for the regional economy.
