Areva to assess nuclear desalination

French power contractor Areva is likely to be asked to conduct a feasibility study into the use of nuclear power for desalination in Libya, according to a source at the Electricity, Water & Gas Ministry.
The study will propose locations for an unspecified number of nuclear-fuelled desalination plants and determine capacities. "The studies will start as soon as possible," the source says.
