New confinement options and architecture for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) projects

Main description

Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) projects could be considered as a new nuclear plant design. However, most projects are breakthroughs when considering usages and safety approach - defense in depth. Example is given by the confinement fundamental safety function or the reactor control system. When developing solutions for industrial usages, risks associated with confinement or control need to be substantially lower than classical nuclear power plants. Framatome provides expertise in the field of safety functions advanced solutions and conception, drastically reducing associated risks without risking planning and costs.
