Our solutions for the nuclear industry
The French nuclear industry includes all players involved in nuclear energy production, for both civilian and military purposes.
In the civilian sector, their activities revolve around the operation and maintenance of 56 active reactors, the construction of a 57th (the Flamanville 3 EPR), studies and design for the new EPR2 program, research into the nuclear energy of the future (including ITER and fusion), the dismantling of decommissioned facilities, and the management of radioactive waste. Quality and safety are daily challenges for this industry, which is contributing to decarbonization alongside renewable energies.
Some key figures for the sector
- 56 civilian nuclear reactors in France
- 2,500 companies
- €47.5 billion in revenue
- 220,000 direct and indirect jobs
