The plant is proposed for the Flamanville, France site and will have a power output of 1630 MW.

Under Article 41 of the Euratom Treaty, as well as subsequent articles, persons and undertakings engaged in the industrial sectors relating to nuclear activities must notify the EC of investment projects relating to new installations and also to replacements or conversions.

The EPR design has been developed since the 1990s by EDF and AREVA-ANP, in partnership with German electricity companies.

The EPR project is aimed at achieving the highest possible level of nuclear safety, environmental protection and economic performance. The EPR uses 17% less fuel than the types of reactor currently operating in France. Its expected service life is 60 years.
