France's DCNS proposes subsea nuclear plant

摘要

France's naval construction firm DCNS has agreed with Areva, EDF and the CEA R&D organization on a joint study of DCNS' concept for a submerged nuclear power plant unit that its promoters say could provide energy for millions of people in coastal locations worldwide. The technical, economic and market feasibility study will be conducted over the next two years by 100-150 people from DCNS and the nuclear organizations, after which a decision could be made to build a prototype, DCNS Chairman and CEO Patrick Boissier said in January.
