The French nuclear giant Areva says in its annual report that it’s made immense technological progress. It has begun the delivery of special equipment to improve the safety conditions at the most dangerous nuclear reactor in Japan. But Since the Fukushima catastrophe, questions have been raised over the safety of nuclear energy. The company claims that nuclear reactors in France are safe.

Despite technological improvements and organizational changes, the French nuclear giant Areva is faced with another big challenge: adverse public opinion. According to a poll by the Ifop surveying agency, three months after the Fuskushima catastrophe, 77 percent of the French wanted to get rid of nuclear energy by 2040.

French public opinion is nearly the same as in neighboring countries, like in Germany where the government under public pressure decided to abandon nuclear energy. If the French government follows, the same trend remains to be seen.
