Three years after causing half of the French nuclear fleet to stop, the stress corrosion falls to the Civaux power plant. The phenomenon, poorly understood and difficult to prevent, worries about the robustness of the existing park while France signs the revival of nuclear power. New alarm for EDF: two suspicious indications of stress corrosion were detected on reactor 2 of the Civaux nuclear power plant in Vienna during a scheduled maintenance …
The nuclear power plant in Civaux, Vienna, is again under the fire of the projectors because of persistent corrosion problems. Early corrosion by stress effect has been detected on reactor 2, which raises concerns about the safety and solidity of the installations. It is recalled that this concern has already required important interventions in the past and this could even lead to a prolonged shutdown of the reactor concerned. Discovery which wo…
European Power Costs Surge on Fresh Fears of French Nuclear Reactor Corrosion
Power prices across Europe jumped as nuclear giant Electricite de FranceSA reported signs of “stress corrosion” at a reactor, renewing fearsthat generation may be curtailed once again. The French utility in 2022 and2023 was forced to halt part of its atomic fleet, the backbone of westernEurope’s electricity market, to fix cracked pipes. That sent energy prices soaring as the repairs coincided with dwindling Russian gas suppliesto the continent. …
A stress corrosion problem was detected on a reactor at the nuclear power plant chosen for a military-use tritium production experiment. Will it need to be postponed?
The nuclear flu threatens the French again. The electric gala EDF has had to stop a nuclear reactor after finding corrosion again. According to La Tribune media, reactor 2 of the Civaux power plant (Vienne) is being reviewed. It is a problem of corrosion under tension in sections of pipes and, more specifically, in elbows already modified,* according to a source close to the case. That is, corrosion has occurred in an element that has already be…
