Context:

Calogena was created within the Gorgé industrial group to develop, market, build and operate modular heat-bearing nuclear reactors to supply carbon-free heat to urban networks.

The Calogena reactor is a 30 MWth water SMR, with a passive and simple design, which provides it with very robust safety. Calogena is the winner of the France 2030 call for innovative reactor projects.

The reactor’s DPA is committed until 2025. It will be followed by a three-year DPA, followed by the construction of a first reactor in preparation for the transition to series. Construction is expected to begin in 2030.

The APS team is in the process of gaining momentum. It is organized as a Project Platform, with an extended team capacity involving strategic partners. The Technical Platform is located in Aix-en-Provence.
