La Hague site

The La Hague site, located in Normandy, France, is a major nuclear facility primarily associated with the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Operated by Orano (formerly known as Areva), the facility's primary function is to recover usable elements such as uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel, which can then be recycled into new nuclear fuel. The La Hague site has been operational since the late 1960s and is one of the largest reprocessing plants in the world.
