That experience will also benefit follow-on projects, such as Sizewell C, as well as boosting jobs and skills for the UK&#8217;s growth agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Office of Nuclear Regulation has been monitoring the whole production lifecycle of the RPV<\/h3>\n<p>The RPV is a 500-tonne steel container that holds nuclear fuel (radioactive uranium split by nuclear fission) used to make heat to produce steam for the world\u2019s largest turbine, from Arabelle Solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Framatome in France manufactured the RPV, which arrived at the Somerset site in February 2023 and was stored until the installation.<\/p>\n<p>The RPV was lifted onto rails and inserted through a 19.5m high equipment hatch. The internal polar crane then rotated it and lowered it onto a support ring with just 40mm clearance on either side. This process was completed on Tuesday, 3rd December. The installation will be connected with four flanking 25m high steam generators, which are due to be set in place next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146510\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146510 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/97192.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of EDF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Throughout the manufacturing process, the Office for Nuclear Regulation has provided ongoing regulatory oversight, ensuring that the high technical standards are met.<br \/>\nAs part of this process, the power station has also been fitted with 360km of pipes and 10,000km of cable.<\/p>\n<h3>An important milestone in Hinkley Point C\u2019s long journey to completion<\/h3>\n<p>In 2007, former chief executive of EDF Energy UK Vincent de Rivaz said that the power station would be in operation by Christmas 2017.
