The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) has been completed for Unit 2 of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station under construction in Somerset, southwest England, developer EDF said.
EDF said in a social media post that the RPV is now being prepared for shipment to the UK.
The RPV is one of the largest reactor components at a nuclear plant, a vessel containing the nuclear reactor coolant, core shroud, and the reactor core and fuel.
It was manufactured at a Framatome plant in Saint Marcel, France.
