Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR) said Wednesday that it has
adjusted the schedule and costs for repairs at the Flamanville
nuclear power plant.
The French utility company said it expects costs to increase by
1.5 billion euros ($1.65 billion) under the preferred repair
scenario, bringing the total construction costs to EUR12.4
billion.
Additionally, the company said it expects fuel loading at the
end of 2022.
In June, the French Nuclear Safety Authority asked the company
to repair eight containment penetration welds for the Flamanville
plant, EDF said.
