This is one of the announcements of the address in the false air of campaign speeches made by Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday evening: France will launch the construction of new nuclear reactors on its soil.
During a hearing in the Senate, the CEO of EDF Jean-Bernard Lévy announced that the French nuclear leader "is delighted" and "is ready" on this plan.
"We are now awaiting more details from the French government on this announcement," said Xavier Girre, chief financial officer of the EDF group, during a conference on the company's results.
"The president will have the opportunity to speak in the coming weeks on this subject to give details both of a technical nature - the type of reactor - and of the schedule", indicated for his part Gabriel Attal, government spokesperson, on France info.
#Macron announces new EPR reactors.
The only one that we have started to build is still not finished and generates billions of additional costs.
We must get out of nuclear power.
It is expensive and dangerous energy.

Details on future EPRs, in particular their number, have thus been postponed, while the Flamanville EPR continues to accumulate delivery delays and additional costs.
"How many will it take?"
Is it 6?
Is it 8?
Is it 10?
I can not tell you, it will depend on the level of ambition that we set ourselves ”in terms of electrification, evacuated Bruno Le Maire on France Inter.
