CBC Radio Areva report erroneous
TORONTO, ONTARIO - A CBC Radio report that refered to Areva in a “leaked” letter was incorrect.
A statement issued by Areva states: “On April 3, 2008, CBC Radio and cbc.ca carried an erroneous and misleading story which reported: ‘The French nuclear safety watchdog has cited Areva for a number of serious infractions...’

Areva adds that “We are gratified that no other media - to our knowledge - has made this mistake.”
