"Clearly Areva has learnt nothing from the ongoing problems at Olkiluoto," said Jan Beranek, Greenpeace International nuclear campaigner, reacting to the news that construction work on the Flamanville reactor is also running behind schedule.
French newspaper Le Canard Enchaine reports that problems with concrete pouring and the reactor liner have led to the delay. These mirror the problems at the Olkiluoto 3 construction site.
"Construction at Flamanville should be abandoned," concluded Beranek. "France would be better served with investments in safe, clean renewable energy and energy efficiency as described in the Greenpeace Energy [R]evolution scenario."
