Orano - Nuclear Safety Charter - Edition 2018

Orano transforms nuclear materials so that they can be used to support the development of society, first and foremost in the field of energy. The group offers products and services with high added value throughout the entire nuclear fuel cycle, from raw materials to waste treatment. Its activities, from mining to dismantling, as well as in conversion, enrichment, recycling, logistics and engineering, contribute to the production of low-carbon electricity. Orano and its 16,000 employees bring to bear their expertise and their mastery of cutting-edge technology, as well as their permanent search for innovation and unwavering dedication to safety, to serve their customers in France and abroad. Maintaining the highest level of nuclear safety has always been an absolute imperative for Orano: this applies to the safety of its products, to the safety of the solutions it develops for the benefit of its customers, and to the safety of operations. The purpose of this Nuclear Safety Charter is to set out the Group's commitments in the fields of nuclear safety and radiation protection. It applies to all phases of the life cycle of facilities and to all associated operations carried out by Orano as a nuclear operator, industrial operator or service provider. This charter should enable each of Orano's employee, in carrying out its duties, to commit to this imperative personally, for the company, and for all stakeholders. These commitments are anchored in principles of organization, action and transparency. They build on a safety culture shared by all personnel and maintained by periodic refresher training. They are implemented through the Group's management systems. The purpose of these commitments, beyond strict compliance with the laws and regulations in force in countries in which Orano operates, is to foster a continuous improvement initiative aimed at continually enhancing the overall performance of the Group.
