Question

Why did Southampton receive nuclear certification?

Short answer

The recollection links it to repairs on Charles de Gaulle and says France paid for the required certification.

Notes

In this recollection, Southampton needed nuclear certification before work on Charles de Gaulle. France paid for the certification required for that job. The claim concerns a particular repair visit, without a date or details of the repairs.
