The La Hague Nuclear Reprocessing Plant is located in France and is one of the largest facilities for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. It was established in the 1960s and is operated by Orano, a company specializing in nuclear materials. The plant's primary function is to separate usable materials, such as plutonium and uranium, from waste, allowing them to be recycled for use in new nuclear fuel. The reprocessing process at La Hague helps reduce the volume of high-level waste and minimizes the environmental impact of nuclear energy. The facility is subject to strict safety and regulatory standards to ensure the protection of workers and the surrounding community.
