Commissioning of the EPR cannot be expected before end of 2022, the company says
French state-controlled nuclear operator EDF’s project to build a new EPR unit at the Flamanville nuclear station in northern France will be delayed by about three years due to problems with the weldings, the company said.Last month regulator ASN said EDF will have to repair eight faulty pipe welds in the secondary main cooling loops before the start of commercial operation of Flamanville-3.
