What happened

France’s nuclear safety regulator, the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN), has made a draft decision to allow EDF to use the current reactor vessel head of the Flamanville 3 EPR until the end of the reactor’s first operating cycle. The regulator earlier ruled that the utility must replace the vessel head by the end of 2024.
