HEALTH

In a world faced with the climate emergency, the transition to low-carbon

Orano is exploring new fields of activity for the benefit of society. One of these is nuclear medicine: making the most of the unique properties of nuclear materials, the group is developing innovative solutions such as the production of isotopes for use in anticancer treatments and medical research.

The responsible management of raw material is a crucial challenge. With industrially tried-and-tested technologies, Orano processes and recycles the used nuclear fuel owned by electricity generation companies, helping to reduce the volume of waste and save materials. It is also using its expertise to extend recycling to other strategic materials, including those used in batteries. helping to reduce materials.
