Nuclear

Nuclear refers to all activities related to the exploitation of nuclear reactions, whether they are used to produce energy, advance a submarine, treat patients or conduct cutting-edge scientific research. It is a demanding sector, at the crossroads of physics, engineering and industrial strategy, which mobilizes rare skills in highly regulated environments.

Notre approche répond directement aux enjeux actuels du secteur nucléaire :

Maintien d'un haut niveau de culture sûreté et sécurité,
Réalisation simultanée de grands programmes (EPR, EPR2, SMR) en respectant délais et budgets,
Prolongation de la durée de vie des centrales existantes,
Pérennité et renouvellement des installations du cycle du combustible nucléaire,
Digitalisation avancée de la filière,
Développement des compétences et attractivité des talents (+100 000 en 10 ans).

Chez Vulcain, nous accompagnons nos clients sur l’ensemble des segments du cycle nucléaire :

Le parc en exploitation : maintenance, amélioration de la sûreté, prolongation de durée de vie et modernisation des installations.
Le nouveau nucléaire : développement des EPR2, SMR et technologies de 4e génération.
Le cycle du combustible : extraction, enrichissement, fabrication et retraitement du combustible nucléaire.
La recherche & l’innovation : projets expérimentaux avec le CEA, les instituts de recherche et les centres de développement.
Le nucléaire de défense et naval : propulsion nucléaire (sous-marins, bâtiments de surface).
Le nucléaire médical : médecine nucléaire, radioprotection, production d’isotopes.

Our added value

At the heart of our commitment, nuclear safety guides each of our actions. We master control-command systems, numerical simulation and predictive analysis to guarantee reliable and safe installations. Faced with major challenges, we are optimizing the supply chain, supporting the development of advanced reactors and strengthening the management of radioactive waste. Our rigor allows us to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements while supporting the energy transition and the sovereignty of the sector.

‍

At Vulcain, we support our customers in all segments of the nuclear cycle:

The park in operation : maintenance, improvement of safety, extension of life and modernization of installations.
The new nuclear : support for the development of EPR2, SMRs and 4th generation technologies.
The fuel cycle : extraction, enrichment, manufacturing and reprocessing of nuclear fuel.
Research & innovation : experimental projects with CEA, research institutes and development centers.
Nuclear defense and naval technology : support for nuclear propulsion programs (submarines, surface vessels).
Medical nuclear power : participation in projects related to nuclear medicine, radiation protection or the production of isotopes.

This global positioning allows us to meet major energy, industrial and health challenges, while contributing to a shared objective: low-carbon, sovereign, reliable and safe energy.

We are proud to contribute to their projects:
