In light of the challenges of reindustrializing France and ensuring its energy sovereignty, the nuclear industry is more mobilized than ever. As France’s third-largest industrial sector after the aeronautics and automotive industries, the nuclear industry designs and builds its own facilities for power generation, uranium conversion and enrichment and fuel fabrication, including recycling. The industry is a paradigm of excellence recognized worldwide for its high technology, expertise and industrial know-how, which are unique in the world. It contributes to regional economic development, job creation in France, and France’s trade balance by some €6 billion per year.
