EDF sets new target for reactor safety upgrades
Safety upgrades for Electricite de France's 19 nuclear plants will be carried out in the next decade, said Dominique Miniere, EDF's chief of nuclear production. The company had earlier proposed to perform some of those upgrades from 2017 to 2030 as part of an extension program for its reactors. The upgrades will include new flood-proof diesel generators and bunkered remote backup control rooms. Reuters
