Assystem acquiring 5% of French reactor maker Areva NP
French tycoon Dominique Louis is doubling down on atomic power, betting that global warming will foster a nuclear renaissance.
Three months ago, his nuclear engineering group Assystem SA
sold 61 percent of its automotive and aircraft business for 400 million euros ($472 million). Louis used the proceeds to buy back some of the company’s shares and acquire
5 percent of French nuclear reactor maker Areva NP for 125 million euros.
