The Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant (Centrale Nucléaire de Tricastin) is a nuclear power plant consisting of 4 pressurized water reactors (PWRs) of CP1 type〔(Tricastin-4, France ) – World Nuclear Association〕 with 915 MW electrical power output each. The power plant is located in the south of France (Drôme and Vaucluse Department) at the Canal de Donzère-Mondragon near the Donzère-Mondragon Dam and the commune Pierrelatte. The power plant is part of the widespread Tricastin Nuclear Site (see below), which was named after the historic Tricastin region. Three out of the four reactors on the site had been used until 2012 to power the Eurodif Uranium enrichment plant, which had been located on the site. ==Tricastin Nuclear Site== The Tricastin Nuclear Site (Site Nucléaire du Tricastin) is a collection of facilities run by Areva and EDF located on right bank of the Channel of Donzère-Mondragon (diversion canal of the Rhône River) south of the city of Valence (70 km upstream) and north of Avignon (65 km downstream). The site straddles the border between the departments Drôme (26) and Vaucluse (84), not far from the Gard (30) and Ardèche (07) departments, and lies near the communes of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Pierrelatte (both Drôme department), Bollène and Lapalud (both Vaucluse Department). Tricastin is one of the most important nuclear technology sites in the world, along with the COGEMA La Hague site. It is spread out over 600 hectares with over 5000 employees. Some of the involved companies are: * Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA) de Pierrelatte (A nuclear weapons research facility) * The EDF Nuclear Power Plant Tricastin (3,660 MWe total 915 MWe each) * Comurhex: A Uranium hexafluoride conversion facility * Eurodif: Georges Besse (II) plant for uranium enrichment A small number of facilities in Pierrelatte belong to the Marcoule Nuclear Site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
