Paris, 18 March 2024
EDF has been seized by the French government to
provide an irradiation service at Civaux nuclear power plant, in
support of the CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique - Atomic
Energy Comission). An irradiation service involves inserting
radioactive material into the reactor core.
The purpose of EDF's nuclear reactors, including
Civaux, is to produce low-carbon, pilotable electricity to support
energy transition in France. This complementary activity will be
added to the main mission of electricity generation.
This request from the French government has no
impact on Civaux’s operations or its purpose. In addition, the two
Civaux reactors remain subject to the civil nuclear installations
regime.There are no plans to extend this additional activity to
other reactors in the fleet.
This complementary activity will be carried out
in accordance with the applicable safety and environmental
protection regulations. The request for authorisation to carry out
this activity will be submitted to the French Nuclear Safety
Authority (ASN) for review.
An agreement between the French State, CEA and
EDF will be signed, setting out the scope of activities and the
rights and obligations of each party, in compliance with EDF's
governance rules.
