摘要

The Energy Department's inspector general has referred to the DOE Office ot uen-eral Counsel for further review allegations that Areva is not eligible to receive a federal loan guarantee for its proposed Idaho uranium enrichment plant-or hold DOE contracts-under a 2007 law that bars federal dealings with companies doing business in Sudan, sources tell The Energy Daily.rnThe sources say Inspector General Gregory Friedman referred the allegations for further review because his office found sufficient legal question aboutrnwhether Areva was violating the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act of 2007 due to the state-owned French company's interests in gold mining operations in the African country.
