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 International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a joint project of the European Union, Japan, the Russian Federation and the United States with the objective to design, construct and operate a tokamak burning plasma experiment. The present phase of the project, the six year Engineering Design Activity (EDA), is nearing completion of the fourth year. The major features of ITER are now well defined. The development of detailed engineering designs for the components, plans for the machine assembly, the support facilities, the site requirements construction plans, schedule and costs and a safety assessment are well along and will be completed by the end of the Engineering Design Activity in July, 1998, when construction can begin if the ITER partners approve the construction phase.
