29-10-2024 | Mirion Technologies has awarded strategic contracts for the new Sizewell C nuclear power plant project in Great Britain

Mirion Technologies (NYSE: MIR), a leading provider of advanced radiation safety solutions, today announced it has been awarded two major contracts in support of the Sizewell C projecta new 3.2 gigawatt power station for Great Britain. Using EDF expertise and EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) technology, Sizewell C will generate low-carbon electricity sufficient to power approximately 6 million homes. Based in East Suffolk, the development will mirror the design of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station currently under construction in the Somerset region.

As a major supplier of nuclear power plants worldwide, Mirion Technologies has demonstrated its capabilities and commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions for critical new power plants.

“We are delighted to be part of the Sizewell C project, a pivotal development in the commitment to a sustainable energy future for the UK,” said Loïc Eloy, President of Technologies Group at Mirion.

The October 2024 agreement for the supply of Electrical Penetration Systems (EPS) covers critical technology to enable safe passage of cables through the reactor containment walls, providing reliable sealing and uninterrupted electrical circuits even in unexpected situations. Mirion EPS solutions help ensure the safe containment of the reactor building while enabling the flow of information from inside to outside the reactor.

Earlier this year, in May 2024, Mirion Technologies was awarded the contract for Boron Meter Systems. These systems are essential for measuring boron concentration in water, a critical factor in controlling nuclear reaction levels in light water nuclear power plants.

An ongoing partnership

This partnership allows Mirion Technologies to leverage extensive experience in nuclear technology together with the Sizewell C-team to ensure the success and reliability of this important undertaking.

“We are confident in Mirion’s ability to deliver high-performance systems that integrate seamlessly with advanced EPR technology and replicate the Hinkley Point design,” said Fernando Tiefensee, program manager at Sizewell C. “This partnership underlines our mutual commitment to promoting safe, reliable energy solutions and strengthening our role in helping to achieve the UK’s energy generation targets.”

“We would like to continue our collaboration and contribute to sustainable and reliable energy solutions for the future,” added Loïc Eloy of Mirion.
