yeah but Areva is the renamed nuclear arm of the French governments wholely owned electricity producer ..who are the largest power supply company in the world due to purchases of other companies in other countries ..here they just gave me a power cut in protest against opening the French market to competition ...and the possibility of allowing other companies or individuals to buy even small amounts of E.D.F.stock ....rarely is anything as simple as it looks ....
