Excerpt: The EPR is a third generation pressurized water reactor (PWR) design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (now Areva NP), Electricit de France (EDF) in France, and Siemens AG in Germany. This reactor design was called in Europe European Pressurized Reactor, and the internationalized name of this reactor is Evolutionary Power Reactor, but is now simply named EPR by Areva. As of 2009, two EPR units are under construction, one each in Finland and France, and both are facing costly construction delays. Nuclear regulators in both countries have expressed doubts about their safety. Britain's main security regulator has expressed it could not recommend plans for new reactors because of wide-ranging concerns about their safety (referring to both EPR and AP1000). Two additional units are planned as part of China's tenth economic plan, to start construction in 2009. In July 2008 the French President announced a second EPR would be built in France due to high oil and gas prices.. Penly was chosen as the site in 2009, and construction should start in 2012. EPR is a trademark of Areva group. The main design objectives of the generation III] EPR design are increased safety while providing enhanced economic competitiveness through improvements to previous PWR designs scaled up to an electrical power output of 1650 MWe with thermal power 4500 MWt. The reactor can use 5% enriched uranium oxide fuel, optionally with up to 50% mixed uranium plutonium oxide fuel. The EPR is the evolutionary descendant of the Framatome N4 and Siemens Power Generation Division KONVOI reactors. The EPR design has several active and passive protection measures against accidents: The EPR has a design maximum core damage frequency of 6.1 10 per plant per year. T...
