The nuclear safety autorisation of the mise en service de l’EPR d’EDF in Flamanville

The nuclear force during the last 7 months of the future service preparation of the new generation EPR in Flamanville, the progress of the production process during the production process during the course of the production process ans the retard.

A l’issue de son instruction, l’Autorité de sûreté nuclear (ASN) « Vient d’adopter l’authorization de mise en service de l’EPR de Flamanville »a déclaré Julien Collet, director general adjoint de l’ASN. « This authorization is valid for EDF’s commencement and charger for the combination of the reactor and the ensuite phase of its operation » au cours des prochains mois.

Ces essais permettront notamment de « verify the good feedback of the response » et « the good function of the disposition of the reactor »a expliqué M. Collet.

Raccordement au réseau électrique dans quelques mois

EDF is dissatisfied with the beginning of the charge, « un par un »the assemblies of uranium during the reactor, are essential in advance of the progress of the production d’électricité before the end.

Le raccordement au réseau électrique (le « couplage »). Ce n’est qu’en « fin d’année » que le reactor devrait fonctionner et livrer ses électrons à 100% de sa puissance, selon EDF.

EDF asks for a job application for the ASN for three reviews: « before the start of the nuclear reaction », « au palier de puissance de 25% puis au palier de puissance de 80% »a indiqué M. Collet.

After the construction of 14 respondents in France, the charge of the combination is one step decision for EDF and the process of filing, following the chanter difficile page of 17 years, emailing the multiple problems and dérapages budgetaires colossaux.

A total estimate of 13.2 billion

Since the arrival date has been confirmed for 2024, after 12 months of delay on the calendar year of departure, the total payment estimate for 13.2 billion euros, according to EDF, according to the initial estimate of 3 .3 billion.

Started in 1992 with the development of nuclear technology, with a collaboration initiale free-of-charge, the technology of the European pressurisé (EPR) with a view to relaunching the atom in Europe, after the Chernobyl catastrophe in 1986, and in the meantime sure and without fail.

But this is a guarantee that it will be ready for the final date. In the beginning of the premier chantier d’EPR, launched in Olkiluoto (Finlande) in 2005, in the Flamanville démarré in 2007, in the course of multiple déboires: fissures in the concrete of the stone, anomalies in the shape of the cuve, failures the soudure…
