    3. Feedback for continuous improvement of welding operations

    Taking advantage of the high level of series production in France's nuclear power plants, as well as achievements in other countries (South Africa, South Korea, USA, China, etc.), feedback from manufacturing and operation has led to numerous improvements.

    3.1 Manufacturing feedback

    This manufacturing feedback has led to changes in a number of parameters in several areas:

    • base materials (for example, the replacement of Inconel 600MA GV tubes with Inconel 690TT, see
