AREVA is a French multinational group specializing in nuclear and renewable energy headquartered in Paris La Défense.[1] It is the world's largest nuclear company.[2] Its nuclear technology business group was created by absorbing the nuclear business line of German company Siemens; it has developed the European Pressurized Reactor (EPR), an advanced 3rd generation pressurized water nuclear reactor.[3][4] Before its 2016 corporate restructuring, Areva was majority-owned by the French state[5] through the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (54.37%), Banque publique d'investissement (3.32%), and Agence des participations de l'État (28.83%).[6] Électricité de France, of which the French government has a majority ownership stake, owned 2.24%; Kuwait Investment Authority owned 4.82% as the second largest shareholder after the French state.[7] The company was listed at the European stock exchange Euronext.
The corporate name "Areva" is inspired by the Trappist Santa Maria de la Real monastery in Arevalo in Spain.[8]
