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 results of preliminary tests on tritium and neutrons from palladium cathodes during D2O electrolysis are presented. The few positive results obtained from many tests are discussed. Neutron and tritium signals are not obtained in the same experiment, but significant limits (5 × 105 to 1 × 107) are established for the tritium-to-neutron ratio due to the precision in tritium measurements and the stability of neutron detectors.
