Abstract

The revival of nuclear energy in France is driven by the need to meet climate objectives under the Paris Agreement and ensure energy security amidst global crises. Nuclear power offers a reliable, carbon-free baseload energy source, complementing renewables. This study examines the legal and regulatory challenges of this resurgence, focusing on authorization procedures for new nuclear facilities, nuclear fuel supply chains, and spent fuel management. Special attention is given to Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), evaluating whether current frameworks are adequate or require tailored approaches, and exploring opportunities for international regulatory harmonization.
