Uranium mining in France information


Uranium production from mines in France, from 1953 to 2002. Total cumulative production: 75,965 tonnes.

Uranium mining in France is the activity of the 210 or so uranium mines that operated in the country between 1945 and 2001. Together, these sites produced around 76,000 tonnes of uranium.[1] This production is destined for France's nuclear program, both civil and military.

These mines are mainly located in the Massif Central (Auvergne, Limousin, Languedoc) and the Massif Armoricain (Vendée and Bretagne). Now completely closed, these mining sites have had different destinies, from renaturation to rehabilitation.
