The purpose of this report is to present the situation of Orano (the Company, previously known as New AREVA Holding) and its subsidiaries during the fi nancial year running from January 1 to DecemberǾ31, 2018. The terms “group” or “Orano” refer to the group of companies formed by Orano and its subsidiaries and interests, both direct and indirect. The change of the Company’s name took place on JanuaryǾ22, 2018. A French law public limited company entitled to issue fi nancial securities admitted for trading on a regulated market, the Company is subject to the obligation to draw up a management report including the information stipulated by the French Commercial Code, as well as the specifi c information required of a company issuing debt instruments listed for trading on a regulated market. Orano - 2018 Annual Activity Report 1 Editorials “Orano is a major player in the nuclear industry, producing the low-carbon energy of the future.” The latest IPCC report published in October 2018 Philippe Varin confi rmed that there is an urgent need for action on Chairman of the Board of DIrectors a global scale to tackle climate change effectively. It is a simple equation: the rise in temperatures must be limited to a maximum of +1.5°C, with the aim of being “carbon-neutral” by 2050. he solutions already exist, such as implementing aǾ low-carbon electricity mix based on renewables Tand nuclear energy. France is at the forefront ofǾ this, with electricity that is already more than 95%Ǿ carbon-free. The decisions taken by the French President last November as part of the Multiannual Energy Program confirm this strategy: nuclear energy, which has the dual advantage of not producing CO2Ǿ emissions and of being continuously available, willǾ serve as the backbone for power generation in France. ItǾ will be supported by an industry with more than 220,000 employees and 2,500 companies across France, to which Orano brings its recognized know-how in fuel production and the recycling of nuclear materials. 2 Orano - 2018 Annual Activity Report PROFILE Editorials “In 2018 , Orano has confi rmed both its recovery At a time when nuclear energy is becoming and its ability to perform increasingly essential for power generation, over the long term.” Orano outperformed its targets in its fi rst year of trading. here has been a marked improvement in the key performance indicators for safety and security. TI n economic terms, Orano’s fi rst year saw a return toǾ positive net cash flow of €158 million in 2018 – higher than the target set – and the start of the group’s deleveraging. In parallel with the recovery of the uranium and conversion markets, our group secured nearly €2Ǿ billion in new orders across all of its businesses, particularly in Asia, which now accounts forǾ24% of our revenue. Earnings from the Group’s operating performance rose sharply, with operating income of €517 Ǿmillion in 2018. The net income has been impacted by the negative performance of the fi nancial markets. Lastly, allǾ of our teams rallied behind the “ValueǾ2020” performance plan to deliver €102Ǿmillion in savings. With these results, Orano confi rms its recovery, but its ability to perform over the long term. It is backed by a diversifi ed mining portfolio, the most modern conversion and enrichment facilities in the world, flagship recycling plants and internationally renowned expertise inǾ services (transportation, manufacturing of packages , dismantling , operations support and engineering). It relies upon the confi dence of its customers, the know-how of its people, who contribute onǾ a daily basis to producing safe, sustainable nuclear electricity.

  • The Jules Horowitz Reactor Project, a Driver for Revival of the Research Reactor Community
    THE JULES HOROWITZ REACTOR PROJECT, A DRIVER FOR REVIVAL OF THE RESEARCH REACTOR COMMUNITY P. PERE, C. CAVAILLER, C. PASCAL AREVA TA CEA Cadarache - Etablissement d'AREVA TA - Chantier RJH - MOE - BV2 - BP n° 9 – 13115 Saint Paul lez Durance - France CS 50497 - 1100, rue JR Gauthier de la Lauzière, 13593 Aix en Provence cedex 3 – France ABSTRACT The first concrete of the nuclear island for the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) was poured at the end of July 2009 and construction is ongoing. The JHR is the largest new platform for irradiation experiments supporting Generation II and III reactors, Generation IV technologies, and radioisotope production. This facility, composed of a unique grouping of workshops, hot cells and hot laboratories together with a first -rate MTR research reactor, will ensure that the process, from preparations for irradiation experiments through post-irradiation non-destructive examination, is completed expediently, efficiently and, of course, safely. In addition to the performance requirements to be met in terms of neutron fluxes on the samples (5x1014 n.cm-2/sec-1 E> 1 MeV in core and 3,6x1014 n.cm-2/sec-1 E<0.625 eV in the reflector) and the JHR’s considerable irradiation capabilities (more than 20 experiments and one-tenth of irradiation area for simultaneous radioisotope production), the JHR is the first MTR to be built since the end of the 1960s, making this an especially challenging project. The presentation will provide an overview of the reactor, hot cells and laboratories and an outline of the key milestones in the project schedule, including initial criticality in early 2014 and radioisotope production in 2015.

  • French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded to 'BB+' on Improved Liquidity and Capital Structure; Outlook Stable
    Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Primary Credit Analyst: Christophe Boulier, Paris (39) 02-72111-226; [email protected] Secondary Contact: Andrey Nikolaev, CFA, Paris (33) 1-4420-7329; [email protected] Table Of Contents Overview Rating Action Rationale Outlook Ratings Score Snapshot Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Related Criteria Ratings List WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT APRIL 5, 2018 1 Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Overview • Orano has reported EBITDA of close to €1 billion for 2017, despite challenging industry conditions, and its recent restructuring and capital increases have improved its liquidity and capital structure. • We think Orano will continue to focus on cost-cutting and generate moderately positive free operating cash flow, enabling it to reduce net debt in 2018-2020. • Consequently, we are upgrading Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. • The stable outlook reflects our view that Orano will be able to reduce adjusted debt to EBITDA to below 5.5x in 2019-2020 despite challenging industry conditions, supported by its sizeable, long-term order backlog. Rating Action On April 5, 2018, S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit rating on France-based nuclear services group Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. The outlook is stable. We also raised our ratings on Orano's senior unsecured bonds to 'BB+' from 'BB'. Although we expect substantial recovery (70%-90%; rounded estimate 85%) on the bonds in the event of a default, the recovery rating is capped at '3' due to the bonds' unsecured nature and issuance by a company rated in the 'BB' category.

  • Green Hydrogen the Next Transformational Driver of the Utilities Industry
    EQUITY RESEARCH | September 22, 2020 | 9:41PM BST The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Green Hydrogen The next transformational driver of the Utilities industry In our Carbonomics report we analysed the major role of clean hydrogen in the transition towards Net Zero. Here we focus on Green hydrogen (“e-Hydrogen”), which is produced when renewable energy powers the electrolysis of water. Green hydrogen looks poised to become a once-in-a-generation opportunity: we estimate it could give rise to a €10 trn addressable market globally by 2050 for the Utilities industry alone. e-Hydrogen could become pivotal to the Utilities (and Energy) industry, with the potential by 2050 to: (i) turn into the largest electricity customer, and double power demand in Europe; (ii) double our already top-of-the-street 2050 renewables capex EU Green Deal Bull Case estimates (tripling annual wind/solar additions); (iii) imply a profound reconfiguration of the gas grid; (iv) solve the issue of seasonal power storage; and (v) provide a second life to conventional thermal power producers thanks to the conversion of gas plants into hydrogen turbines.

  • Design of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (Lmfbr) Core Under Dynamic Loading
    Transactions, SMiRT-22 San Francisco, California, USA - August 18-23, 2013 Division III DESIGN OF LIQUID METAL FAST BREEDER REACTOR (LMFBR) CORE UNDER DYNAMIC LOADING Nadim Moussallam1, Guilhem Deuilhé2, Benoit Bosco3, Daniel Broc4, David Gentet5 1 Engineer, AREVA Engineering & Projects, Lyon (France) - [email protected] 2 Engineer, AREVA Engineering & Projects, Lyon (France) 3 Engineer, AREVA Engineering & Projects, Lyon (France) 4 R&D Engineer, CEA/DEN/DANS/DM2S/SEMT, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France 5 R&D Doctor-Engineer, CEA/DEN/DER/SESI/LE2S, F-13108 Saint-Paul les Durance, France ABSTRACT The present paper (a) describes the main structural characteristics of a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBR) core, (b) exposes the design challenges posed to such structure by dynamic loadings, (c) details the different modeling strategies that could be used to represent the leading physical phenomena for the dynamic response of the core, and (d) illustrates the application of these modeling strategies to improve the design of the ASTRID (Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration) core against dynamic loadings. INTRODUCTION LMFBR belong to the 4th generation of nuclear reactors. This type of reactor is expected to significantly increase the amount of energy that could be extracted from both natural uranium and existing plutonium reserves. It does also have the potential for reducing the inventory of highly activated long duration nuclear wastes. Several experimental LMFBR have been built around the world, some of them are in operation today and some others are planned or under construction. In France, the ASTRID project aims at completing the detailed design of a LMFBR, with sodium as a primary coolant.

The Comurhex W II project was launched to give France an industrial facility offering cutting- edge safety, security, and environmental and industrial performance. A facility that gives us a global competitive advantage and guarantees an uninterrupted electricity supply for our markets. A tool integrating technological innovations in terms of safety, environment, and improvement of industrial performance: recycling of chemical reagents, reduction by 90% of water consumption, automated control-command system to improve the process control. It is an exceptional project that has required the best of our expertise from the teams of Orano Chemistry and Enrichment as well as Orano Projets, and throughout our group alongside our industrial partners. The project successfully completed at the same time as our group was reinventing itself to create a new flagship technology business to give nuclear materials all their value. While an important debate is taking place on France's multi-year energy program, the investment we have made in the Tricastin site and its plants shows the confidence we have in the future of nuclear energy.
