French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency

The French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA) is responsible for managing and disposing of radioactive waste in France. Established in 1991, its mission includes the safe handling, storage, and long-term disposal of waste from nuclear power plants and other sources. ANDRA ensures that radioactive materials are contained in a way that protects public health and the environment. The agency conducts research, develops facilities like deep geological repositories, and engages with communities to address concerns about radioactive waste. Its goal is to find sustainable solutions for the management of this waste for future generations.
