{Machine Translation] EPR Flamanville: several months of repairs just for welding defects, ensures the ASN. EDF estimates that 35% of the pipe welds that connect the steam generator to the turbine that produces the electricity have defects. The reactor is already 7 years late. And the delay will still extend a few months: the president of the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), Pierre-Franck Chevet, said Thursday June that EDF should repair the welding defects on the future EPR Flamanville, a construction site that will represent “at least” a few months of work. As a “gendarme” in the nuclear sector, ASN alone has the power to authorize the launch of the reactor.
