The fight against climate change requires a global transition to make safe and sustainable energy accessible to all populations. The use of nuclear power is an appropriate response to these challenges, enabling the production of affordable, controllable, low-carbon electricity, which also promotes energy independence. In order to achieve a sufficient, safe and sustainable level of nuclear power generation in the coming decades, EDF has been undertaking major programmes in France for several years to maintain and improve the reliability of its facilities, known as the ‘Grand Carénage’ programme.

To guarantee its success, EDF must ensure that the interventions are technically mastered, and that deadlines and financial budgets are met.
