Expert Insights on Decommissioning France’s Spent Fuel Reprocessing
Michael Madsen. Today, around 70 per cent of France’s electricity is generated from 56 nuclear power plants (NPPs). All of the spent fuel from these reactors, and some from other countries, is reprocessed and partially recycled at La Hague, a site in the country’s northern Cotentin Peninsula. After 35 years of operation, La Hague’s first

All buildings will be demolished or reused by 2133. Although these targets seem a long way off, some of the interim ones are already unlikely.
