AREVA and the Nuclear Renaissance

AREVA's CEO, Anne Lauvergeon, is putting it all on the line to kick-start the global nuclear renaissance for electric power production. The French design and build state-of-the-art nuclear power reactors. These reactors are expensive but they work very well. I wonder if AREVA has considered the options of the pebble bed reactor and/or the thorium reactor. These two nuclear technologies have big advantages in the non-proliferation arena.
