Flamanville

Let's go back to the news, barely put on the road.

The departure of Flamanville has already been added for a giant inspection of a Dura-Ade in the central area.

The nuclear plant of Flamanville, located in the Manche, will be put on hold from Saturday for a period of 350 days.

During which EDF will carry out its first complete inspection.

It takes the first visit of these types, scheduled in the 30 months following the first fuel load.

L'opération est comparable à une visite décennale, similaire à celle réalisée récemment sur le réacteur Palluel 1 d'EDF.

but a slightly longer duration of 180-200 days compared to other power plants such as Truze or Civo due to the volume of control required.

Since its launch in December 2025, Flamanville has produced 9 new terawatt-hours of electricity, reaching the peak of power on December 14, 2025.

I don't call that very brilliant.

Yeah, I think they… They had some issues with what are reported as cracks, I think, in the Flamanville plant, which was a new build.

And it then meant that every other one had to be monitored for the potential.

I think the French are very good at running their nuclear power.
