French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA)

The French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA) is a public organization responsible for safely managing France’s radioactive waste. This includes researching, designing, and operating facilities to store and dispose of waste from nuclear power plants and hospitals, ensuring environmental protection and public health. ANDRA develops methods for long-term containment, monitors waste storage sites, and communicates safety measures to the public. Its goal is to handle radioactive materials responsibly, minimizing risks while managing waste that remains hazardous for very long periods.
