The EPR design adopted by Taishan nuclear power plant features third generation nuclear technology, jointly developed by EDF and Framatome. Once the reactor has passed all these tests, it will then be tested in steady-state conditions at full power... it has benefited from a longstanding strategic partnership between EDF and CGN, from both partners' experience in the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, and from the support of leading players in both countries' nuclear sectors.
