--The board of French state-owned utility EDF has given final
approval for the acquisition of a 75.5 percent stake in Areva NP,
the nuclear reactor construction unit of fellow state-owned nuclear
group Areva, by the end of the year, Reuters reports citing unnamed
sources.
--One source said the board had lifted required guarantees on
the successful completion of Areva-designed EPR reactors in
Flamanville, France, and Taishan, China, as these reactors should
be starting up in the coming year, Reuters says.
--The source also said that Areva would not, as it had
originally wanted, keep a 15 percent stake in its former reactor
unit because of European Commission objections, says Reuters.
