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.

A new technique has been developed for converting solutions of dissolved salts to dry, granular solids by spray-injecting the solution into a heated bed of fluidized solids. The technique has been applied on a pilot scale to the dehydration and calcination of uranyl nitrate and aluminum nitrate solutions. The experimental equipment is described, and the effect of various operating variables on factors such as particle size growth, and completeness of calcination are discussed.
