Flamanville-3 reaches full power
France’s state-owned electric utility EDF has announced that Flamanville-3—the country’s first EPR—reached full nuclear thermal power for the first time, generating 1,669 megawatts of gross electrical power. This major milestone is significant in terms of both this project and France’s broader nuclear sector.

The efficiency of four differencing schemes is compared for the two-dimensional neutron transport equation discretized on a mesh grid composed of equilateral triangles. All schemes are implemented into the computer code DIAMANT2 and verified using realistic model problems and check calculations with the TRIPLET code. The most efficient algorithm is chosen to serve as the standard solution procedure in DIAMANT2.
