"France's state electricity group says that it is ready to build six new nuclear reactors at an estimated cost of €46 billion after President Macron relaunched the country's atomic energy programme. “We are ready,” Jean-Bernard Lévy, the chief executive of EDF, said at a parliamentary hearing at the Senate in Paris."
“We need to look at different families of technologies,” Macron said in a speech in Paris Tuesday, during which he pledged that France will invest 1 billion euros ($1.16 billion) in small modular reactors, known as SMRs, and other technologies such as atomic waste recycling. “The first target is to have small reactors emerging in France by 2030.”
