The Flamanville Nuclear Power Plant is located at Flamanville, Manche, France on the Cotentin Peninsula.
It houses two pressurized water reactors (PWRs) that produce 1300 MWe each and came into service in 1986 and 1987, respectively. It produced 18.9 TWh in 2005, which amounted to 4% of the electricity production in France. In 2006 this figure was about 3.3%.
Construction began on a new reactor, Flamanville 3, on 4 December 2007 [1]. The new unit is an Areva European Pressurized Reactor type and is planned to produce 1650 MWe from 2012 to 2072. EdF will invest some Eur 3.3 billion ($4.8 billion) during the construction phase.
