The French government is "seriously" examining the option of building a reprocessed uranium conversion and enrichment site. Russia is the only country in the world to have a plant to convert this recycled uranium intended for integration into nuclear power plants.
EDF is in fact linked to a 600 million euro contract concluded in 2018 with Tenex, a subsidiary of Rosatom, to recycle and enrich uranium from the reprocessing of spent fuel from the French group. Greenpeace has denounced the continuation of uranium deliveries between Russia and France, in particular for the benefit of EDF power plants, despite the war.
