Reactors

Bugey 1, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Bugey Nuclear Power Plant in eastern France. With a capacity of 1670 MWe, it supports France's long-term vision for sustainable civilian nuclear energy production. Currently in the planning phase, it has no operational history.

Flamanville 3 is located at the Flamanville Nuclear Power Plant in Normandy, France. As an EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) with a net capacity of 1650 MWe, it is significant for being one of the first of its kind, contributing to France's low-carbon energy mix. After years of construction delays,

Gravelines 1, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Gravelines Nuclear Power Plant in northern France. With a capacity of 1670 MWe, it is part of France's ambitious plan to bolster civilian nuclear power generation with next-generation technology. As it remains in the planning phase, there is no opera

Gravelines 2, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Gravelines Nuclear Power Plant in northern France. This 1670 MWe unit is intended to enhance France's civilian nuclear energy infrastructure with advanced reactor technology. It is still in the planning stage and has no operational history.

Under construction at the CEA Cadarache site in France, the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) is a high-flux pool-type research reactor with a planned thermal power of 100 MWth. It holds significant importance as an international project involving 10 partner organizations, aimed at materials testing, fue

Located at the CEA Saclay site in France, ORPHEE was a pool-type research reactor moderated by heavy water, focused on neutron scattering and condensed matter physics. It played a notable role in scientific research for approximately 40 years before its permanent shutdown in 2019. Its contributions

Paluel 1, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Paluel Nuclear Power Plant in Normandy, France. With a capacity of 1670 MWe, it contributes to France's goal of maintaining nuclear energy as a key component of its civilian power grid. It remains in the planning stage with no operational history.

Penly 1, an EPR2 reactor, is under construction at the Penly Nuclear Power Plant in Normandy, France. With a planned capacity of 1670 MWe, it is part of France's strategy to expand civilian nuclear capacity with advanced, safer reactor designs. As it is still under construction, there is no operatio

Penly 2, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Penly Nuclear Power Plant in Normandy, France. This 1670 MWe reactor is significant for supporting France's commitment to nuclear energy as a cornerstone of its civilian energy policy. Currently in the planning stage, it has no operational history.

Located at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France, the RHF is a heavy water research reactor renowned as the world's highest-flux neutron source for neutron scattering. Its significance lies in supporting around 2,000 researchers annually in fields like condensed matter physics and str

Tricastin 1, an EPR2 reactor, is planned for the Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant in southern France. This 1670 MWe reactor is part of France's efforts to expand its civilian nuclear fleet with modern, efficient designs. As it is still in planning, there is no operational history available.
