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.

A simple approximate scheme of calculating the variations of fusion activation-induced radioactive inventories with reactor operating conditions (power and time) by scaling equations is formulated. Application of the scheme to evaluate radiological dose-contributing activation products for HT-9 ferritic steel first wall shows decent agreements with numerical results.
