Flamanville-3 reaches full power
France’s state-owned electric utility EDF has announced that Flamanville-3—the country’s first EPR—reached full nuclear thermal power for the first time, generating 1,669 megawatts of gross electrical power. This major milestone is significant in terms of both this project and France’s broader nuclear sector.

Very careful examination indicated that two key formulas in our paper “Neutron Time Interval Distributions with Background Neutrons”1 had errors. We revise here the derivation and results for the probability to obtain a count between and following a trigger count when the neutrons come both from fission chains and either correlated backgrounds or an external random source, Eqs. (76) and (79) (Ref. 1).
