TechnicAtome and Naval Group teams fired up the nuclear reactor of the second Suffren-class submarine (SSN), an event known as divergence. With this new milestone completed, the Duguay-Trouin is on track to start initial sea trials.
Designed under the responsibility of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the nuclear boiler was produced under the supervision of TechnicAtome, designer of the boiler, Naval Group, being responsible for the production of the pressure vessels and for the integration of the nuclear reactors on board all Barracuda type SSNs.
About 700 employees from both companies are working full time on the reactors of the five five SSNs in the Barracuda program currently under construction. The first submarine in the series, the Suffren, was delivered in November 2020 and entered active service in June 2022. The first sea trial of Duguay-Trouin is set for the end of 2022.
