Framatome signs contracts with Sizewell C
French nuclear developer Framatome is slated to deliver key equipment for Sizewell C Ltd.’s two large reactors planned for the United Kingdom’s Suffolk coast.
The agreement, reportedly worth multiple billions of euros, was announced this week and will involve Framatome from the design phase until commissioning. The company also agreed to a long-term fuel supply deal. Framatome is 80.5 percent owned by France’s EDF and 19.5 percent owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The technology required to advance the state of the art of KrF amplifier construction to the 100-kJ output beam level is identified. The design of a non-lasing prototype machine that would test the soundness of the expanding flow diode concept and the viability of a modular and stackable approach to the electron guns and power supplies for very large amplifiers is presented and discussed in detail. The preliminary design of a 100-kJ power amplifier module is described, and key design problems and approaches are discussed. The realization of the technologies identified would lay the foundation for the construction of national facilities for the study of laser fusion at a near-optimum wavelength.
