Operating Technical specifications, documentation, licensing studies, regulatory bodies, interfaces …

In order for a nuclear power plant (NPP) to get approval for operation, nuclear plant operators must demonstrate fulfillment of applicable safety requirements to regulatory authorities. Framatome performs studies for the justification and certification of NSSS and their components, and defines tailored licensing study programs (e.g. for mechanical aging issues). Our teams are familiar with most licensing, qualification and standards compliance requirements for safety authorities in France (ASN), the USA (NRC), China (NSSA), the UK (ONR) and Finland (STUK).
