China's drive towards dramatically expanding its nuclear generation capacity has seen some of those involved express unease. In particular, French companies involved in the process of building reactors in the country say that communications are not what might be expected, and post Fukushima the industry itself is keen that safety in particular is not compromised as a result. Bloomberg reports that French state-owned Areva (Euronext: CEI) (developer) and EDF (overseer) are involved in the Taishan nuclear power project, 100 miles outside Hong Kong, where construction is almost completed on a plant that will host two state-of-the-art European Pressurized Reactors. The French are keen that the new generation reactor has an optimal debut in China but the communications issue has made it difficult to ensure control is maintained and the development goes smoothly. "It's not always easy to know what is happening at the Taishan site," Stephane Pailler, head of international relations at France's Autorite de Surete Nucleaire regulator, said in an interview. "We don't have a regular relationship with the Chinese on EPR control like we have with the Finnish," said Pailler referring to another EPR plant under construction in Finland.
