Veolia: chosen by EDF to equip nuclear power plants

(CercleFinance.com) - EDF has announced that it has chosen Veolia's technological solution, in partnership with REEL, for the design, manufacture and installation of mobile units to treat contaminated water in the event of a nuclear accident.


This additional means would drastically limit environmental impact by treating on site the primary circuit water stored in reactor building tanks in the event of a pipe rupture.

This new device is part of the safety modifications implemented by EDF, designed to bring the safety level of 900 MWe reactors closer to that targeted for the EPR reactor.

EDF's nuclear fleet has chosen Veolia to benefit from proven technology that meets the exacting requirements of the nuclear industry. This new alliance between two French groups, leaders in their respective fields, illustrates the performance of French industry in cutting-edge sectors," commented Cédric Lewandowski, EDF's Executive Director in charge of nuclear and thermal power plants.
