tranches nucléaires

English translation: nuclear power units

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:tranches nucléaires
English translation:nuclear power units
Entered by: Nicholas Ferreira

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Energy Company merger
French term or phrase: tranches nucléaires
Here is the phrase:
– Augmentation de la part de XXX dans la copropriété de tranches nucléaires en Belgique : 250 MW

My proposal:
– Increase of the share of XXX in the co-ownership of the nuclear brackets/ranges in Belgium: 250 MW

Does this make sense?

This all falls under the heading "Transferts de capacités de production d’origine nucléaire à XXX"

neutral  a05: A station (nuclear power plant) contains several units. If the issue is about numbers this is not the same

  -> Thank you for the clarification. In that case, nuclear unit might be the better term to use here.
agree  Bourth (X): NPP would be OK here since that is what "tranche" has to mean here, even if in principle it is "unit" and a NPP has 4 units, usually. I think a "copropriété" would share the entire NPP, not individual units.
