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.

In this study, the calculations of proton emission spectra and of the excitation function produced by 63Cu(n, xp) and 63Cu(n, p)63Ni reactions, respectively, are used in the framework of preequilibrium models with the new version of the EMPIRE 3.2 code. Exciton Model predictions combined with the Kalbach angular distribution systematics and the Hybrid Monte Carlo Simulation (HMS) were used, and some necessary parameters have been investigated for our calculations. The comparison with experimental data shows clear improvement over the Exciton Model and HMS calculations.
