Mirion Technologies Awarded Strategic Contracts for Sizewell C New Nuclear Power Station Project in the UK
Mirion Technologies (NYSE: MIR) has secured two major contracts for the Sizewell C nuclear power station project in the UK. The first contract, awarded in October 2024, covers Electrical Penetration Systems (EPS) for secure cable passage through reactor containment walls. The second contract, from May 2024, is for Boron Meter Systems to measure boron concentration in water. The 3.2-gigawatt Sizewell C facility will mirror Hinkley Point C's design and generate low-carbon electricity for approximately 6 million homes.
Mirion Technologies (NYSE: MIR) ha ottenuto due contratti importanti per il progetto della centrale nucleare Sizewell C nel Regno Unito.

Insights
The strategic contracts for Sizewell C represent a significant business win for Mirion Technologies. The project's scope, involving critical safety systems for a 3.2-gigawatt power station, positions Mirion as a key supplier in the UK's nuclear infrastructure expansion. The Electrical Penetration Systems and Boron Meter Systems contracts demonstrate Mirion's technical leadership in reactor safety components.
The replication of Hinkley Point C's design reduces execution risk and provides cost certainty. With nuclear power gaining momentum in Europe's energy transition, these contracts strengthen Mirion's market position and could lead to additional opportunities as countries expand their nuclear capacity. The long-term nature of nuclear projects provides stable revenue visibility, while the high barriers to entry in nuclear safety systems protect Mirion's competitive advantage.
These contracts align with the broader trend of nuclear power revival in Western markets. Sizewell C's 6 million home power capacity highlights the scale of this infrastructure investment. The EPR technology implementation represents a significant market opportunity, as similar reactors are planned across Europe. Mirion's selection for both electrical penetration and boron measurement systems demonstrates their comprehensive capabilities in nuclear safety technology.
The timing is particularly advantageous given the UK's commitment to nuclear power as part of its energy security strategy. The project's replication of Hinkley Point C's design should streamline execution and potentially lead to operational efficiencies and cost benefits for Mirion.
As a key supplier to nuclear power plants globally, Mirion Technologies has demonstrated its capability and commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions for critical new power stations.
“We are excited to be a part of the Sizewell C project, a pivotal development in the commitment to a sustainable energy future for the United Kingdom,” said Loïc Eloy, President, Technologies Group at Mirion.
The October 2024 agreement for supply of Electrical Penetration Systems (EPS) addresses crucial technology to enable secure passage of cables through containment walls of the reactor, providing a reliable seal and uninterrupted electrical circuits even in unexpected situations. Mirion EPS solutions help ensure the safe containment of the reactor building while enabling the flow of information from inside to the outside of the reactor.
Earlier this year, in May 2024, Mirion Technologies was awarded the contract for Boron Meter Systems. These systems are essential for measuring boron concentration in water, a critical factor in controlling nuclear reaction levels within light water nuclear power plants.
An Ongoing Partnership
This partnership allows Mirion Technologies to leverage extensive experience in nuclear technology in tandem with the Sizewell C team to ensure the success and reliability of this significant venture.
“We have confidence in Mirion’s ability to deliver top-end systems that integrate seamlessly with advanced EPR technology and replicate Hinkley Point design,” stated Fernando Tiefensee, Programme Manager at Sizewell C. “This partnership underscores our mutual commitment to advancing safe, reliable energy solutions and solidifies our role in helping achieve the
“We are eager to continue our collaboration, contributing to sustainable and reliable energy solutions for the future,” added Loïc Eloy of Mirion.
