Design and manufacturing of metallic containment vessel for advanced reactors

Main description

Most advanced reactor designs are based on small or micro transportable units with fully integrated "nuclear islands." To accommodate these integrated nuclear islands, metallic containment (or confinement) buildings are often selected by the advanced reactor designers. Metallic containments must be easy to manufacture, repair, transport, and scale to reactor size. Framatome has designed and supplied metallic containments for our Konvoi plants in Germany. First in class in designing, engineering, manufacturing, and qualifying components, Framatome is your best partner for the development of your containment vessel, whatever the size and design of your project.
