============================================================
"The RES program is a test reactor, which is representative of the nuclear boiler on submarine or aircraft carrier. The function of this program is to enable crews to become operational and also to qualify new equipments. Technicatome is the project engineer and Cadarache site has been chosen for the RES construction. Project team is responsible for the whole program, while a specific team is responsible for works on site. This project is a real challenge because of its technical nature and also its difficult context: time limit and budget requirements are very strong."
