European Pressurized Reactor
The European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) is a type of nuclear power reactor designed to generate electricity. It features advanced safety systems and improved efficiency compared to older reactor designs. The EPR uses enriched uranium fuel and operates at high pressure and temperature, allowing for greater energy output.
Developed by Framatome and Electricité de France, the EPR aims to meet stringent safety and environmental standards. It incorporates multiple safety features, including a double containment structure and passive safety systems that can function without external power. The EPR is currently in operation in several countries, contributing to low-carbon energy production.
