EPR (European Pressure Reactor)

The European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) is a type of nuclear power plant designed to generate electricity safely and efficiently. It uses nuclear fission—splitting uranium atoms—to produce heat, which then turns water into steam. This steam drives turbines that generate electricity. The EPR features advanced safety systems, enhanced containment structures, and higher fuel efficiency compared to older reactors. Its design emphasizes safety, environmental protection, and long-term energy output, making it a modern solution for clean energy production with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
