Nah EDF is already having trouble finishing their current projects, they are about to get a huge order to build a bunch of reactors in France. They don't have the administrative capacity and the talent to spare for foreign projects right now. They've already had to call in american experts on stuff like soldering because they ran out of local and internal talent, it takes years to train a group of technicians who can consistently perform a reactor solder that will pass the quality inspection.
Exports became very popular for the french nuclear sector in the 80s and 90s because the country was loaded up to the tits in fresh new reactors and they became unpopular in the west after Chernobyl.
The media might drum it up as a strategic issue because it makes for a good headline, but the french nuke sector has other fish to fry right now.
