Guided tour: EDF nuclear power plant in Brennilis (29)
Welcome to the Brennilis nuclear power station, currently being deconstructed in the heart of Finistère!
Enjoy a unique experience for over half a day as you enter the only reactor in France open to tourists!
Discover the EDF site at Brennilis and find out more about a reactor, how it works and its place in the history of nuclear energy. Dismantling will of course be at the heart of the visit. Different themes will be suggested to help you understand the constraints imposed by this reactor and the solutions envisaged. The management of waste, from on-site production to sorting, packaging and disposal, will also be covered.
Our mediator guides welcome you all year round to the Maison du Lac (located near the power station) to offer you an introduction to the energies and history of the site, with numerous visits and workshops.
