Franco-British nuclear industry summit

During a summit last week, UK and France reaffirmed their enthusiasm for nuclear power and declared their desire for a joint nuclear industry: http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NP_Summit_for_a_Franco_British_nuclear_industry_1702121.html ... "A range of commercial contracts towards UK nuclear build were signed at the summit today involving Areva, Amec, Assystem Atkins, EDF, Rolls-Royce and a joint venture between Kier and BAM: Commercial deals accompany French-UK accord" ... "Nuclear deals potentially worth more than £500 million ($790 million) were signed on the sidelines of the Franco-British Summit in Paris today as a strengthened cooperation agreement on civil nuclear energy was signed between the two countries. Many of these deals relate to EDF Energy's plans to construct two Areva EPR reactors at Hinkley Point in Somerset." http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/C-Commercial_deals_accompany_French_UK_accord-1702124.html
