In a ceremony attended by more than 100 customers, partners and employees, Catherine Cornand, senior executive vice president of Framatome's Installed Base Business Unit, cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the new centre.

The new engineering research and operations centre is home to a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for carrying out construction, safety reviews and dismantling projects on behalf of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Commission (CEA) and TechnicAtome. The team also works on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor - currently under construction at Cadarache - being responsible for the installation of the Tokamak as part of a consortium with Chinese partners.

Cornand said: "Our team's expertise allows us to deliver innovative nuclear products and services to our customers worldwide that provide a safe, competitive and low-carbon source of energy."
