The EPR2 requires 250 types of pipes instead of 400 for the EPR, 571 valves instead of 13,300 valves for the EPR, and 100 types of doors instead of 300 in the EPR. The EPR2 also uses more prefabricated components, and the electrical buildings can be completely prefabricated.

Partial Requirements Service is electric service provided to a Customer that has an on-site distributed generation system interconnected to the Company’s distribution grid that is configured so that the energy generated first supplies its own electric requirements, and any excess generation (over and above its own requirements at any point in ti...

L'EPR2, pour Evolutionary Power Reactor 2, aussi initialement appelé EPR-NM (« Nouveau Modèle »), est un projet de réacteur nucléaire à eau pressurisée (REP) de génération III+.

May 3, 2023 · La France envisage de construire 6 à 14 EPR2 sur son territoire. Il s’agit d’une évolution de l’EPR dont trois unités sont en fonctionnement dans le monde et trois en chantier. De même puissance et de même niveau de sûreté, l’EPR2 promet, entre autres, d’être plus facile à édifier. Origines de l’EPR.

EDF and Framatome are developing a simplified version of the EPR design, known as EPR2. Its aim is to incorporate design, construction and commissioning experience feedback from the EPR reactor, as well as operating experience from the nuclear reactors currently in service.

EDF is currently designing an optimised version of the EPR: the EPR2, which is easier to build and therefore more competitive. To achieve this goal, the project relies on many digital tools, making EPR2 the first "full digital" reactor.

Jul 4, 2021 · Despite being fiercely pro-nuclear, President Macron has declared on several occasions that the EPR at Flamanville would need to be operational before any decision to build other reactors could be made.

Sep 19, 2024 · The EPR-2 reactor is a pressurised water reactor project developed by EDF and Framatome. It meets the general safety objectives of the third generation of reactors. Its aim is to incorporate design, construction and commissioning experience feedback from the EPR reactor, as well as operating experience from the nuclear reactors currently in ...

Oct 16, 2020 · France’s state-controlled utility and nuclear plant operator EDF aims to unveil a new, cheaper-to-build version of its EPR reactor technology by mid-2021, the company said on Thursday. EDF said that the next generation EPR, known as the EPR 2, would benefit from a reduction in preparatory studies leading to significant cost reductions.
