Sarkozy to decide on fate of Areva chief within days

by Staff Writers Paris (AFP) March 29, 2011 President Nicolas Sarkozy will decide within days about the leadership of French nuclear group Areva, a government source said Tuesday, amid mounting speculation that Anne Lauvergeon will keep the top job. Lauvergeon, 51, has headed the majority state-owned Areva for 11 years, and reportedly has had stormy exchanges with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Henri Proglio, the head of EDF, France's main electricity supplier and so Areva's top customer.
