EDF: UNIQUE EXPERTISE AND KNOW-HOW IN THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY
EDF is the world’s leading nuclear operator (1) with a standardised nuclear fleet of 58 reactors (2) in France and 15 reactors in Great Britain.
EDF manages the entire lifecycle of nuclear generation facilities: design, operation and decommissioning
- EDF is investing to continue the operation, safely, of its reactors beyond 40 years, a guarantee of the competitiveness of electricity generation in France. Building the success of Tricastin 1 -the first reactor to successfully pass its fourth ten-year inspection (VD4) to extend its operating life, EDF plans to invest €45 billion (3) over the period 2014-2025, as part of the “Grand Carénage” programme.
- Construction of EPR-type reactors throughout the world (France, China, Great Britain) and development of an optimised version of the EPR (EPR 2) for the renewal of the French nuclear fleet by 2030.
- The pooling of EDF and Framatome engineering teams in a joint subsidiary Edvance(4), are the major milestones in the re-engineering of the French nuclear sector, for new projects in France and abroad
- EDF is present in the French and international markets for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and radioactive waste treatment facilities. They have wined their first contracts on the international markets of nuclear decommissioning and waste treatment (5).
