AREVA installs final pump in Olkiluoto 3 primary cooling system

This marks the end of the installation of the reactor’s nuclear steam supply system, which circulates the water heated by the nuclear fuel.

The OL3 EPR reactor’s primary cooling system consists of four identical cooling loops connected to the reactor vessel, each with a steam generator, a pump and related piping. The entire cooling system is connected to a single pressurizer, which keeps the water under pressure.
