[en] The first of the model N4 reactors will be commissioned in the early 1990S. This model benefits from experience gained in the design, construction and operation of the large and consistent French program achieved during the last 20 years. Subsequent units to be brought on line in the 1990s will also be of the N4 design, in accordance with the French policy of standardization to maximize safety and reduce costs. Studies under way on the reactor that will follow the N4 are oriented in two main directions: additional improvements to enhance safety and more efficient use of the fissile material. These studies take into account the development of a common nuclear island by NPI, the new joint-venture between Framatome and Siemens-KWU. The author's opinion is that the French program consistency offers the best mean to help bridging KOEBERG onto the next units which ESCOM may decide to build in the future. (author)
