Why France? "France possesses world-class expertise in the area of nuclear power," said Frederic Bauchot, lead architect at the centre. "Establishment of the Center enables IBM to utilize not only local IBM talent and experience in nuclear systems design and implementation, but also advanced skills of a leading nuclear power market." More than 30 countries operate nuclear reactors for electricity generation, and others (including Australia) are considering joining them as the nuclear option is seen as a way of reducing carbon emissions while meeting a growing demand for energy.
