Sustainability
The French nuclear fuel cycle has been assessed as one of the lowest impact energy systems in the world, emitting only 5.2g of CO2 per kWh and reducing hazardous waste by 17% while extending the lifespan of fuel supply, reducing mining and enrichment impacts. Technological innovations in reprocessing of fuel, and in seawater extraction, make Uranium one of the most sustainable fuel sources on the planet.
