Transformers for the Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant.

Located in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux in Drôme, France, the Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant is situated at the crossroads of four departments (Drôme, Ardèche, Gard, and Vaucluse) and between three major economic regions (Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and Languedoc-Roussillon). It covers an area of 55 hectares and is located in the Tricastin industrial zone, which also houses the facilities of Areva, making it a unique nuclear site in Europe.

The plant has four 900-megawatt pressurized water reactors and has been producing safe, clean, and competitive electricity for over thirty years. With its production of 25 terawatt-hours, the power plant meets the electricity consumption equivalent to 3.5 million inhabitants, which corresponds to almost 50% of the energy needs of the Rhône-Alpes region.
