Can't they reprocess in la Hague? I imagine it was politically complicated before, but in light of recent developments?
As an aside, France announced last week a plan to construct 6 new EPR installations, and a plan to revamp and extend the existing fleet.
The Netherlands has reversed it's decision to phase out gaz, and is extending it's capacity.
- Jon_Lowtek 5y agoMy knowledge about the nuclear economy of France is limited, but i don't think La'Hague has a UF6 defluorisation plant. I believe there are some in southern France but those are unable to handle the amount of UF6 France produces on its own, without buying more from Germany. Also, much like the german reprocessing plant in Gronau, the french plant in La'Hague is only a small part of a long re-processing and re-enrichment chain. It is a producer of "uranium de retraitement" (URT). Ask the French what they do with it, their "nuclear circular economy" goes through Tomsk in Siberia.
