4.2.4.4 Financial effects related to liabilities management and sites’ end-of-life
Very restricted fi nancing of decommissioning of regulated nuclear facilities and highly regulated waste recovery facilities Article 20 of French law No. 2006-739 of June 28, 2006, on the program for the sustainable management of radioactive materials and waste establishes the principle of the creation, by the operators of regulated nuclear facilities (INB), of assets earmarked to cover the costs of decommissioning their facilities and managing the back end of the fuel cycle, in accordance with terms and conditions guaranteeing the availability of the necessary resources. The law provides for a mechanism to ensure that INB operators have the assets necessary to fi nance the long-term expenses related to the decommissioning of these facilities, the management of spent fuel, and radioactive waste.
In accordance with Article L. 594-4 of the French Environmental Code, Orano prepares a report every three years on future expenses for the decommissioning of regulated nuclear facilities and legacy waste retrieval and casking, and long-term management of radioactive waste casks. This report was updated in June 2025. At December 31, 2024, the group’s gross undiscounted future expenses amounted to 16,992 million euros, of which 82 million euros is borne by third parties. The obligations of the la Hague facility represent more than 80% of these end-of-lifecycle expenses. The amount of provisions falling within the scope of the law at December 31, 2024, was 8,708 million euros in present value, including 70 million euros fi nanced by third parties (Note 13 to the consolidated fi nancial statements).
