Areva ever eager
Always keen to keep their thumb in, Areva issues another, rather useless, news conference. First of all, the Alberta thing is a joke. Second, if we want to wait forever for a nuclear vessel, we should go with the Ap1000, which is a better design.
Or maybe I play one on TV! I have no idea, but I just suspect the single-forged version is so superior, that nobody wants to be accused of 'rinky-dinkiness'.

Why not shield the vessel walls from neutrons with Beryllium or some such to prevent the dreaded embrittlement.
I realise you may not be a nuclear engineer, but maybe you know one.
