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 contact device of a new type - a sulfonic cation resin membrane (Nafio type) contact device for separating isotopes of hydrogen in the water-hydrogen system is represented. Its main feature is space separation of hydrogen and liquid water flows that allows using non-hydrophobic catalysts for realizing the process. Results of research on the isotope exchange efficiency carried out for model protium-deuterium system have been represented. Mass exchange efficiency dependencies on temperature (T = 333-413 K), pressure (P = 0.1-0.4 MPa), the hydrogen flow rate (GH2 = 20-120 NL/h) have been investigated for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic catalysts. High efficiency of membrane contact devices is noted in carrying out the chemical isotope exchange between hydrogen and water in the given range of conditions.
