AREVA announced today the launch of a new corporate blog focused on energy issues and its activities in North America. The blog will focus on energy issues and foster discussions about combating climate change, increasing energy security and improving economic growth. It will also focus on AREVA’s solutions for clean power generation and electricity distribution in North America.

The AREVA Blog – North America Pure Energy Blog is the first blog launched by a nuclear power company to communicate directly with the public, and one of the first by any energy company. The blog will join a number of independent blogs in the growing energy and nuclear energy blogging community.

"There is a vibrant community of energy bloggers on the Internet'" said Jacques Besnainou, President of AREVA Inc. "We're proud to add our voice to that community, and we're looking forward to a frank and fruitful conversation."
