Finding uranium deposits. Barbara Brenachot / Thomas Obin / GeoRessources - France's rising electricity needs, its energy independence and the decarbonisation of its energy mix are all challenges to which nuclear energy can provide a solution. France has a strategic position due to its know-how in the processing and management of nuclear materials. The country can thus count on a unique environment made up of international industry operators such as Orano, enabling it to interact with both fundamental and applied research facilities recognized for their expertise. With the aim of constantly adapting to industrial and scientific challenges, the CNRS, the University of Lorraine and Orano have decided to set up a Joint Laboratory (LabCom), building on over 40 years of scientific collaboration. Dubbed CREGU*, and positioned at the heart of Nancy's research and training environment, it will be able to rely on the expertise of the GeoRessources Laboratory (CNRS/Université Lorraine). This is a real asset, since CREGU will thus be able to draw on the laboratory's long-standing expertise as well as its sample collections, data and analytical platforms, which are among the best in France.
