For nearly five decades, TechnicAtome has operated in the nuclear engineering sector, specializing in reactors, fuels, and related facilities. The company's activities are structured around key areas, including naval propulsion for defence, nuclear research, and energy production projects both in France and internationally.
A core segment of its business is the design of naval propulsion nuclear reactors and the operation of nuclear defence facilities. These projects are characterized by long-term cycles, typically involving 20 years of design followed by 40 years of operation.
