Nuclear - it’s safe, the evidence proves it
SAFETY
The safety of nuclear power stations is a constant concern. It covers the full lifecycle of facilities; from design to use to demolition.
EDF R&D plays a role in all of these stages. It conducts experiments every day to anticipate and mitigate any present or future risks in a continuous improvement process.
Immerse yourself in the key R&D safety projects and discover testing sites all over France.
