EPR projects on track
Description
EPR is a large advanced evolutionary PWR resulting from extensive French-German cooperation. After a decade of design which associated the power plant vendors, Framatome and Siemens KWU (whose nuclear activities have since been merged to form Framatome ANP, now an AREVA and Siemens company), Electricite de France (EDF) and the major German utilities as well as the safety authorities from both countries, EPR has now begun its industrial life. A first unit is under construction in Finland, a second unit has been decided by EDF in France. Chinese perspectives and North America markets evolutions are contributing to the growing feeling of a nuclear renaissance. (authors)
