The Startup Of Flamanville-3 Has Been Delayed Until 2016, according to a statement released by Electricite de France on July 20. EDF also announced that in response to recent events that have slowed progress on the Areva EPR pressurized water reactor, it has decided to introduce a new approach to the organization of the project with its industrial partners. Stressing the inevitable difficulties in undertaking the first nuclear construction project in France in 15 years, and the company's first EPR, EDF also noted that the project cost has risen to some €6 billion (about $8.6 billion); the original estimate was €3.3 billion (about $4.75 billion), with a project completion date of 2012.
