Paluel Nuclear Power Plant

Paluel Nuclear Power Plant (French: Centralenucléaire de Paluel) is located in Normandy, France. It is 40 km from Dieppe, located in Paluel, the town of Département Seine-Maritime. It is the second largest nuclear power plant in France.

The 5,320 MW nuclear power plant was developed on a 160-hectare site on the English Channel waterfront. Employ about 300,000 people. 1,250 full-time employees. It is owned and operated by EDF and includes four 1,330MW pressurized water reactor units. Water from the English Channel is used for cooling.
