On 17 February 2010, 24 students from the Masters in nuclear energy, sponsored by EDF, visited the Flamanville nuclear power plant. They visited the control room and machine room of a reactor in operation and were given a presentation on the issues involved in operating a nuclear power plant. They then visited the EPR construction site to see the new reactor being built and see the state of progress of the various buildings of the new plant. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit, which gave the students an insight into the practical application of their Masters programme.
