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.

Based on the method of self-sustained turbulence, the anomalous transport coefficient is derived for various toroidal plasmas. The L-mode confinements in the tokamaks, stellarators, H/T systems and RFP are explained by this formula, showing the influence of the magnetic geometry. The mechanism of the confinement improvement is discussed. Associated with the H-mode, the bifurcation physics is described. The catastrophic event at the β-limit is discussed.
