France’s nuclear regulator delays ruling on extending reactors’ life

Reuters 10th Oct 2018 France’s ASN nuclear regulator will issue by the end of 2020 its
long-awaited and much-delayed generic ruling on the life span extension of
utility EDF’s nuclear plants, said the French government’s nominee to
head the ASN. “Based on the information at my disposal, the generic
ruling should be issued at the end of 2020,” Bernard Doroszczuk said at a
French senate committee hearing about his nomination. The ruling, which is
crucial for EDF, has been repeatedly delayed, most recently by outgoing ASN
chief Pierre-Franck Chevet.
