At Tihange 3, Framatome will replace the Flux Monitoring System (FMS), a critical component that monitors neutron power distribution to ensure the core operates within design and safety parameters. This multiyear initiative covers engineering design, component supply, on-site installation, and long-term maintenance.
The second contract focuses on the Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) at both Tihange 3 and Doel 4. It includes the modernization and support of the three motor stators per site, along with spare part delivery. These primary loop motor pumps are essential for plant safety and performance. Framatome will carry out the work at its specialized facilities in northern France, drawing on decades of experience in pump component manufacture and service.
"These two contracts reflect Electrabel's renewed confidence in Framatome and our ability to support our customers in modernizing their nuclear facilities. We are proud to contribute to the lifetime extension and safety of the Belgian nuclear fleet," said Frederic Lelievre, Senior Executive Vice President, Sales, Regional Platforms, and I&C Business Unit at Framatome. "Today's agreements reaffirm our long-term commitment to supporting safe, cost-effective, reliable, and low-carbon electricity production in Belgium."
This initiative aligns with broader European efforts to ensure energy security and reduce carbon emissions through the continued safe operation of existing nuclear infrastructure.
