The French National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP) has announced it is relaunching a consultation on the Georges Besse II uranium enrichment plant to consider increasing the plant’s capacity from 7.5 to 11 million SWU per year.
What does enriched uranium do compared to ‘ordinary’ uranium- last longer ?
Didn’t France also have plans to produce more nuclear-powered naval vessels that will need fuel and reserves?
