By David Whitehouse

Construction of Electricite de France SA’s EPR nuclear reactor at Flamanville in Normandy is running about 24 months late, Le Figaro reported, citing an unidentified person.

EDF’s director in charge of the project, Herve Machenaud, responded that progress is still being evaluated, the newspaper said.

The company is likely to publish a new calendar for Flamanville this month, the newspaper said, without citing anyone.
