La Hague

La Hague is a nuclear reprocessing facility in France where used nuclear fuel from power plants is treated to recover valuable materials like uranium and plutonium. This process reduces waste volume and allows these materials to potentially be reused as fuel. The facility involves complex chemical separations and is part of nuclear fuel recycling efforts, aiming to improve resource efficiency and manage radioactive waste responsibly. It operates under strict safety and environmental standards to minimize risks associated with handling radioactive materials.
