What Does EPR Stand For?
EPR stands for European Pressurised Nuclear Reactor
The European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) is a third-generation nuclear reactor designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability in electricity generation. Developed by Framatome and Areva, the EPR features advanced technology, including improved fuel utilization, safety systems, and passive cooling features. It aims to meet the growing energy demands while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring a high level of operational reliability. EPRs are constructed to comply with stringent safety standards and are capable of delivering significant power output, contributing to the diversification of energy sources in Europe and worldwide.
