Hinkley Point C, which is the first nuclear power station to be built in the UK for more than 20 years, will provide low-carbon electricity for around six million homes, create thousands of jobs and bring lasting benefits to the UK economy.
As part of this contract, Rolls-Royce will provide 140 safety classified (K1) Bibloc® pressure transmitters, which will perform flow, level and pressure measurements of the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS).
Robert Sommacal, Rolls-Royce Civil Nuclear France, Business Unit Director, said: “We are delighted to be a part of the Hinkley Point C project. We will contribute to ensure the nuclear safety of the reactors, which will generate safe, reliable and low-carbon electricity for 60 years. This contract is further proof of the excellence of our Bibloc® technology and of the specific expertise of our teams”.
Qualified for 60 years of operation, Bibloc® pressure transmitters are designed and manufactured by Rolls-Royce I&C teams based in Grenoble - France, and have already been chosen to be implemented in more than 90 nuclear reactors worldwide.
