- legulere 5y agoSiemens dropped out of the project and constructing nuclear power plants because of how much of a failure this reactor was.
- hnarn 5y agoI'll avoid the tiresome linguistic debate about what qualifies as "irony" and instead point out that sure, while Siemens is a "German" company, giving a multinational corporation a national identity very often does not make sense. Siemens has ~300 000 employees, and while it's one of Germany's biggest employers with ~100 000 employees in the country, that still means two thirds of the company does not work in Germany. Also, Areva is French and Siemens hasn't held any shares in the company since 2009.
