The nuclear fuel,The expertise all along the cycle

Our mining operations cover uranium exploration, production and marketing worldwide, as well as the remediation of former mining sites.

Conversion involves purifying and processing uranium ore. This stage is carried out in our Philippe Coste conversion plant known for its modernity.

To be used as a nuclear fuel, natural uranium must be enriched. This stage takes place in the largest enrichment plant in Europe: Georges Besse II.
