Power plants - Nuclear

Electricity generated from Nuclear reactors increased for the seventh consecutive year in 2019, with a global power output of 2657 TWh. The 442 operating reactors provide about 10% of the world’s electricity. There is a need for new generating capacity worldwide to replace fossil fuel units to reduce greenhouse gases and to meet increased demand for electricity. In addition, Nuclear power has a key role in keeping the rise in temperature to below 2°C. Nuclear energy is low carbon and can be deployed on a large scale, supplying clean and affordable electricity. 

To satisfy the most rigorous safety standards, Nexans has designed exceptionally robust cables and developed a line of halogen-free cables that keep operating during an emergency, while protecting people and infrastructure. We draw on more than 40 years’ experience in thermal, radiation and design-based event testing.
