Olkiluoto 3: AREVA installs the reactor pressure vessel
Construction of the Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) EPR™ reactor in Finland has reached a new symbolic milestone, with the installation of the reactor pressure vessel in the reactor building. This stage will kick off a flurry of installation activities for heavy nuclear components.
Installation of the reactor pressure vessel in Olkiluoto 3 site
The installation of the reactor pressure vessel in the reactor building symbolize a new symbolic milestone of the construction of the Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) EPR™ reactor in Finland. The other heavy components (steam generators and pressurizer) will be installed by the end of the year.
Generation III+ Reactor Portfolio: brochure
AREVA offers a portfolio of three latest generation (III+) reactor models intended for use in nuclear power plants: EPR™, ATMEA1 and KERENA. They allow electricity providers to achieve their competitiveness, safety and power generation capacity objectives. The power range of these reactors goes from 1,100 MWe to more than 1,650 MWe.
