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.

Diamagnetic flux is measured by using diamagnetic loops in the central cell of the Hanbit magnetic mirror device. Diamagnetic loop measurements are carried out during rf discharges with a frequency of 3.5 MHz or 3.75MHz. In the measurement, the rf power is varied from 60 kW to 200kW, and the vacuum magnetic field of 0.130 T – 0.242 T is applied in the central cell. The present status of the diamagnetic loop measurements is described and experimental results from diamagnetic flux measurements under several Hanbit operational conditions are presented. The purpose of this work is preparation of a database (such as the dependence of the diamagnetic flux upon the applied vacuum magnetic field and rf power) for physics studies in the Hanbit device.
