ACTIVITIES RELATED TO NUCLEAR ENERGY AND GASEOUS FOSSIL FUEL

Line Nuclear energy related activities

1 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to research, development, demonstration and deployment of innovative electricity generation facilities that produce energy from nuclear processes with minimumal waste from the fuel cycle. 2 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to construction and safe operation of new nuclear installations to produce electricity or process heat including for the purposes of district heating or industrial processes such as hydrogen production, as well as their safety upgrades, using the best available technologies. 3 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to safe operation of existing nuclear installations that produce electricity or process heat, including for the purposes of district heating or industrial processes such as hydrogen production from nuclear energy, as weel as their safety upgrades. 4 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to construction or operation of electricity generation facilities that produce electricity using fossil gaseous fuels. 5 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to construction, refurbishment and operation of combined heat/cool and power generation facilities using fossil gaseous fuels. 6 The undertaking carries out, funds or has exposures to construction, refurbishment and operation of heat generation facilities that produce heat/cool using fossil gaseous fuels. NO Orano is carrying out research studies on a molten salt reactor to recycle plutonium and minor actinides. These Research and Development expenses are recognized in OpEx. 4.2.2 Limiting our footprint on freshwater [E3] NO NO YES NO NO Fossil gas related activities

4.2.2.1 IROs related to water resources For its materiality analysis and the identi fi cation of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IRO), Orano relied on its existing mapping (risks, duty of vigilance), the knowledge of its experts and existing studies (impact studies, speci fi c studies, etc .) as well as interviews with 150 stakeholders, as described in Section 4.1.5.2 Double materiality analysis methodology . For the water topic, the group relied on impact studies including a water component carried out at the front end of new signi fi cant industrial operations in France and internationally. In France, the environmental authorization process provides for public consultation.

Orano supplements these analyses with the “Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas” tool developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) to assess water risk. Although it operates a desalination plant in Namibia and has authorization to discharge waste into the sea at certain facilities, the materiality analysis does not identify the seawater and marine resources topic as material (see Section 4.1.5.4 Information on non-material topics ).
