Sciotot beach, Flamanville, Manche, Laag-Normandië (Nickname: Christophe) |

On its territory is installed a seaside nuclear power plant, established there in the eighties, with two PWR reactors of 1300 MWe each, which were put into operation in 1986 and 1987.
Flamanville has recently been selected for the installation of the first French EPR reactor (which will be Flamanville's third reactor) near the two existing ones. This facility should be operational in 2012 although at the early planning and permission stage objections have been raised by the neighbouring States of Jersey.
The Flamanville location allows for the installation of a fourth reactor, if need be.
