Feedback on the N4 series

摘要

France's N4 series of reactors is the sixth series of PWRs developed during the country's nuclear power programme. The earlier series were: 1. CP0: six 900MWe units, connected to the grid in 1977-1979. 2. CP1: eighteen 900MWe units, connected in 1980-1985. 3. CP2: ten 900MWe units, connected in 1981-1987. 4. P4: eight 1300MWe units, connected in 1984-1986. 5. P'4: twelve 1300MWe units, connected in 1986-1993. The N4 series was designed in the early 1980s, increasing unit rating to 1300MWe, and the first units to go into operation were Chooz Bl and B2, which started up in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Two further units went into operation at Civaux in 1997 and 1999.
