PARIS, Sept 19 (Reuters) - France’s ASN nuclear regulator said on Tuesday that it had asked state-controlled power group EDF to widen checks on certain, non-nuclear components made at the Creusot site, which has been under scrutiny over possible manufacturing flaws. The Creusot Forge last year halted production of nuclear reactor vessels after the regulator was made aware of manufacturing flaws and falsified manufacturing tracking documentation. The facility remains closed. Reporting by Geert De Clercq and Sudip Kar-Gupta; editing by Richard Lough
French state-owned EDF Energy has been asked by the country's nuclear regulator to increase checks on components made at the Creusot Forge site, which is under investigation for manufacturing flaws. The company said it had already increased inspections of its own production line and would do so in other areas as well.
