Nuclear fuel
The Fuel business unit manages all processes related to the design and production of nuclear fuel, manufacturing zirconium and its alloys through to implementing the final assembly. It designs and produces fuel assemblies for pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs), as well as for research reactors. AREVA is the leader in Europe in this area.
Integrated offer and global presence
The Fuel business manages the fuel production process, from design through to final assembly.
Fuel engineering
In addition to fuel design studies, engineering also covers maintenance services while the fuel is in use in the reactor.
Nuclear fuel production
AREVA offers a full range of fuel assemblies for light water reactors and manages the entire production process.
Zirconium for cladding assemblies
One of the strengths of AREVA’s integrated offer is its expertise in producing zirconium and its alloys for fuel cladding.
Fuel for research reactors
CERCA produces fuel elements for research reactors and radioactive standard sources.
