The Nuclear Giant AREVA is about to build the largest station in the world, in Jaitapur, a heavenly creek 300 kilometres / 185 miles south of Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra.
France wants to sell to India, six EPR reactors, the latest pride of Areva, to meet the growing needs of the country's electricity. The future plant will be built on a zone with seismic risk where 10,000 people live from fishing, and Mango production, exported everywhere in the world.
Locally, the surprise quickly cleared for amazement. An Indian will tell you "Are Vah" (Damn!)
India, which opened to the civil nuclear market in 2008, wants to attract foreign companies on its soil while minimizing their liability in case of major accidents.
France is betting on a nuclear renaissance while India bets that their energy development will happen thanks to the nuclear.
What will be the costs of these big bets?
