PARIS -- The world's largest nuclear power company, Electricite de France, believes nuclear power still has a role to play in the future, despite forecasts suggesting the market is in getting precarious. According to one senior EDF official, there are still plenty of opportunities in nuclear plant construction -- especially in Asia -- that can complement renewable power sources.
"I don't think nuclear is a short-term energy source," EDF senior executive vice president for new nuclear projects and engineering, Xavier Ursat, told the Nikkei Asian Review in an interview.
