Also that month, IBM announced thet itis ere- ating a Global Center of Excellence for Nuclear Power in France to develop software and consulting services for the design, construction, and operation of riuclear power plants. IBM is capitalizing on the global warming triggered revival of interest in nuclear power as an alternative to coal-fired plants.
