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.

Neutron burstlike emissions were detected during galvanostatic electrolysis of heavy water. A sintered palladium cathode of cylindrical shape was used. After 166 h of electrolysis at 200 mA/cm2, two bursts of neutrons with durations of ∼200 and 100 s were observed. The cathode temperature did not show any change.
