On Tuesday, September 10, Framatome announced start of “additional research” regarding the identified deviations in the welds of the steam generators produced.
EDF confirmed that the company was informed of deviations from the technical standards for the manufacture of components of nuclear reactors. As noted, violations were committed in the production of "equipment in operation and new equipment that is not yet in operation."
Against this backdrop, EDF shares on the Euronext Paris stock exchange fell by 6.8% to EDF €10.115 per share. For EDF quotes, this is the minimum level since February 2018.
British Barclays experts said that EDF problems could lead to higher electricity prices in France and Central Europe in the future in case of failure or the need to repair nuclear power plant reactors with faulty equipment.
