Understanding Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy results from the fission of uranium atoms. The chain reaction that follows occurs in a nuclear power plant under controlled conditions, generating low-carbon electricity uninterruptedly and in such a way that it can be adapted to electricity needs. Nuclear energy delivers electricity reliably to hospitals, companies, residences, and for transportation, providing stable energy on a daily basis and becoming part of a virtuous climate cycle. Another significant advantage is that nuclear energy enables France to be 56% independent for its energy supply. This is the most convincing argument for French people who participated in the BVA survey conducted on Orano’s behalf (June 2021).
