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.

We investigated efficiency of removal of NO and NOx for applied voltage, repetition frequency and energy according to reactor type (wire-plate and wire-cylinder type reactor). Characteristics of Reactor type by pulsed corona discharge could be analyzed through these Results. Because it is very difficult to measure the conduction current for calculation of energy transferred into the reactor in the corona discharge, conduction current was obtained indirectly and the necessary energy for removal of NO and NOx was calculated from conduction current. Removal efficiency of NO and NOx for control variable (applied voltage, pulse repetition frequency, energy transferred into the reactor and removed quantity etc.) in the wire-cylinder type reactor was higher than that in the wire-plate type reactor.
