Eco-design : managing environmental challenges

Minimize the environmental impact of projects throughout their entire life cycle through an eco-design approach.
    • Assess the environmental impacts of projects (Construction / Operation / Decommissioning) 
    • Identify reliable technical solutions while controlling associated costs 
    • Anticipate and comply with regulatory requirements 
    • Promote an innovative approach to improve the sustainability of facilities 
    • Develop assessment sheets to identify the major environmental issues in your projects 
    • Follow the project’s eco-design roadmap and its associated action plan 
    • Conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) using SimaPro software and the EcoInvent database 
    • Conduct greenhouse gas emissions assessments 
    • Calculate the environmental benefits of alternative solutions 
    Reduce the environmental impact of projects
    Eco-design integreted from the feasibility stage
    • A library of eco-design technical documents by business line
    • A network of eco-design representatives 
    • Proven expertise and feedback from Orano facilities and external projects: 
      • Comparison of the environmental performance of two waste package storage facilities built several years apart (EEVLH project) 
      • Energy and environmental optimization of a reprocessing and recycling platform
      • Heat optimization for the reprocessed uranium to UF₆ conversion plant
