Supporting you in France and abroad for an efficient and safe nuclear industry

 

According to the International Energy Agency, global nuclear-generated electricity capacity should increase by nearly 60% by 2040, avoiding the global equivalent of four years' CO2 emissions. Nuclear energy is one of the means of generating electricity capable not only of replacing fossil fuels with low-carbon energy but also satisfying the demand for electricity by providing the basic load.
