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.

Two scoping test stands have been designed, built and installed at GA Technologies to perform single effect type testing to investigate specific thermomechanical and thermal-hydraulic data needs of typical solid breeder blanket designs. An initial test has been completed successfully yielding important information on the stability of Li2O breeder material at typical fusion reactor environmental conditions. Assembly of the second test rig and a pre-testing checkout of the equipment has been completed.
