EDF abandoned the original integral concept in 2024 after customer feedback, moving to what it called existing and proven technology, and the output changed from two 170 MWe modules to a single 400 MW unit. Conceptual design was due to be finalised by mid-2026 for a product marketed in the 2030s. EDF also withdrew from the British SMR competition.\n",
