PALLAS has chosen FCC Construction as the company in charge of the construction of the modern PALLAS reactor. FCC Construction, with more than 120 years of experience, is among the leading construction companies in Europe and the world. From this moment on, the necessary engineering will be developed to begin the construction of the PALLAS reactor. The PALLAS reactor is important so that many patients who have cancer and cardiovascular diseases can be treated and diagnosed. These patients depend on medical isotopes produced at Petten, the former high-flux reactor. With the construction of the new reactor it will be possible to help patients again for a long time. The PALLAS reactor will also contribute to research into a CO2-free energy supply.Bertholt Leeftink, CEO of NRG"PALLAS: "This is an important step towards realizing the PALLAS reactor. The new reactor benefits the security of supply of medical isotopes for patients around the world and is important for maintaining the Dutch nuclear knowledge infrastructure." "With FCC we have found a partner to build the new PALLAS reactor. The construction of the PALLAS reactor is a unique and complex project, for which collaboration is key. We are convinced that we have found in FCC a competent partner," says Peter Dijk, director of the PALLAS program.
