EUROPEAN PRESSURIZED NUCLEAR REACTOR - EPR

Project Overview
The European pressurized water reactor model (EPR) is a third generation nuclear reactor with a 1,650 MW capacity. The works will concern 20 buildings including: the reactor building which will be protected by a double prestressed reinforced concrete shell; the fuel building where new and spent fuel will be stored; the machine room containing the turbine generator; and the pumping and discharge stations which cool the plant with seawater.
  • 20 buildings within a 300m * 185 m perimeter;
  • 300.000 m3 of concrete
  • Over 50.000 tons of reinforcement elements.
