LTO in France compared with the PSR framework

Description
The LTO of the French NPP fleet beyond 40 years (the initial design basis for mechanical structures) is one of the major objectives for EDF. As most of the EDF NPPs were built and connected to the grid in the 1980s, a lifetime limited to 40 years would lead to an important investment programme over the next 20 years for new plants (nuclear units or others, such as gas, coal or renewable) starting as early as 2017 to compensate for the shutdown of the oldest NPPs. Operating nuclear units for 10 or 20 additional years will allow EDF to smooth the commissioning flow for the new build programme (2020–2050), which represents an industrial and economic advantage
