Nuclear

A meeting of generations

It is 5 PM at Orano’s head office. Philippe and Max meet to discuss the issues of energy transition, a major challenge for future generations.

Max Fressonnet

2nd year student at MINES ParisTech

Committed to environmental issues, especially climate and biodiversity, Max is more specifically interested in decarbonization, energy efficiency and the reduction of its consumption.

One of his favorite pastimes is reading science fiction, which inspires him with its exploration of scientific progress and sociopolitical impact.

Philippe Knoche

Chief Executive Officer

Appointed Chief Executive Officer of Orano upon its founding in 2018, Philippe is an engineer from the Corps des Mines and a graduate of the École Polytechnique. He joined the Areva group in 2000 as Head of Strategy.

Skiing and sailing are two of his favorite pastimes. These sports involve endurance and commitment and are at the nexus of nature and technology, just like the nuclear energy sector.
