Areva hopes sell 2 nuclear reactor to India
The french multinational group Areva hopes sell for 20 billions of euros 2 EPR to India until 15 years. The agreement will be signed tomorrow between India and France for the civil nuclear installation in India. They will sell in the first time 2 reactor and nuclear fuel. The indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, arrived today for an Indian-European Union submit in Marseille. It is a plus for Areva which have already distribution and transmission activities and 3500 employees.
This article shows us that India is progressively turning its mind to an "ecologique" source of energy. This is a bit ambigus because the nuclear waste contaminate the environment. But it counter the global warming.
Is nuclear a "new" energy for replace the petrole ?
Maybe yes ...

An acceptable first graded post (blog entry), but a little "light" to warrant more than 10/20. Both your resumé and your analysis are too short to allow you to treat the subject in any depth. The resumé para contains too much translation of the article's own wording: I want you to use your own words and your own organisation! The first sentence of your comment para suggests the beginning of an interesting analysis, but then just tails off! A shame...
Next week, I'd like to see your blog post on time, with an original title (rather than a translated one), closer attention to detail in your resumé (eg. €20 billion is the amount India may pay to French companies in general, not just Areva / an agreement may be signed), and a little more thought going into your comment para. You are right to suggest that India is progressively turning its mind to other sources of energy (besides coal and oil which are its current main sources), but why? And why now? What is attractive to India about nuclear energy? You can (and you should!) dig deeper...
See http://ecoworld.com/features/2006/09/10/nuclear-power-in-india/ for further information (that might have been referred to in your comment para) on India's energy policy.
