A characteristic of the French nuclear installations that differs from those in most other countries with an important nuclear industry is their high degree of standardization. Two main types of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are the 900-MW(electric) CPY and the 1300-MW(electric) P4 reactors produced by a single manufacturer, Electricite de France (EdF). Loading schemes are very standardized, although greater diversification has been introduced in recent years due to implementation of some new loading schemes (LLLP, mixed oxide, extended fuel cycle). This report describes the pressure vessel surveillance program.
