Backed by 60 years of expertise and know-how, the Malvési and Tricastin sites are a benchmark integrated industrial platform for the conversion and enrichment of uranium, with entirely renewed production tools. The co-location of conversion and enrichment activities limits the transportation of materials and associated operations. Orano is the only Western player to control the entire Front End value chain. Other health and quantum activities Orano is also developing new activities such as its Stable Isotopes Laboratory (“Jean Fourniols” laboratory in Tricastin). Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms that are used in a large number of applications, notably in the medical field, scientific research, industry, and quantum computing. The production of stable isotopes in Orano relies on the competencies and cutting-edge technologies used for the transformation, conversion, and enrichment of uranium. Through the Stable Isotopes business, Orano leverages its industrial expertise while offering its customers a Western alternative for the production of these elements, which are essential to tomorrow’s technologies. For more than 20 years, the Laboratoire d’Étalons d’Activité (LEA) has been using its expertise in ionizing radiation metrology to manufacture radioactive sources, used in extremely varied fields of application (nuclear medicine, environmental analyses, radiation protection, industrial process control , etc .). Located

on the Tricastin site, it is the only French manufacturer of these products, which guarantee the safe and controlled operation of all types of radioactivity measuring devices.

2.3.3 Back End The Back End operations of the fuel cycle consist of the Recycling, Nuclear Packages and Services, Dismantling and Services, and Engineering businesses. Recycling The Recycling business uses processes allowing its customers to recycle used fuel into fresh fuel and to package fi nal waste in standardized containers in a safe and stable manner. The Recycling business makes use worldwide of the technical and industrial expertise developed in its facilities at the group’s sites and those of its French customers. In particular, it supports the development of new recycling plants in the framework of international partnerships with countries seeking to acquire their own production plants. This business’ principal base consists of the industrial platforms of la Hague and Melox, respectively located in the Manche and Gard departments of France. These two sites had close to 7,500 employees and subcontractors in 2024.
