Regulatory News:
Nicolas Ferrand is appointed to head up the Back End of the
Future program and takes a seat on Orano's Executive Committee. He
will report to Nicolas Maes, Chief Executive Officer of the Orano
group.
The Back End of the Future program follows on from the decisions
of the Conseil de Politique Nucléaire (French nuclear policy
council) meeting of February 26, which confirmed the national
treatment-recycling strategy for fuel from the current and future
nuclear fleet. The program will be one of the Orano group's
strategic priorities for the coming decades. In parallel with the
steps already underway to extend the La Hague and Melox plants, the
aim of this new program is to prepare and manage the renewal of
these plants, to provide France with the industrial facilities
needed to recycle fuel until the end of the century, and to offer
this service to foreign nuclear utilities.
Commenting on Nicolas Ferrand’s forthcoming arrival, Nicolas
Maes said: "Nicolas' experience in managing large, complex programs
will be an asset for Orano. Together with our teams, he will be
responsible for developing innovative solutions for this
far-reaching program, while engaging all stakeholders to secure its
financing and successful integration in the regions."
Nicolas Ferrand's appointment will be effective as of September
16, 2024.
