NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH Supporting the nuclear Preparing for the future based on 4 th generation nuclear industry systems ► Providing support for ► Managing closing the cycle with the fleet of 2 nd generation a reactor-fuel facility combination reactors ► Managing the design phases for ► Managing fleet ageing the Astrid integrated technology demonstrator (4 th generation sodium- ► Working on new concepts cooled fast reactor) for 3 rd generation reactors ► Optimising and adapting the related fuel cycle plants 8

NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH Developing and operating Cleaning up and dismantling specific experimental nuclear facilities devices and simulation tools at the end of service life ► Consistent fleet of facilities ► High-level expertise in (platforms, hot labs and experimental the management of project reactors) ownership operations Construction of the Jules Horowitz Reactor ► Cutting-edge R&D to support at Cadarache the dismantling area ► Computational codes in the key fields of nuclear energy 9

TECHNOLOGY R&D Generic technologies Industrial partners Technology platforms 10

ACCELERATOR OF INNOVATION SERVING INDUSTRY A large portfolio of “generic” technologies ICT Healthcare Renewable Intelligent digital Materials technologies energies systems and processes 900 industrial partners in all fields of activity Transportation Agribusiness Health, safety and Security and IoT environment defence 32 technology platforms that are top-notch Solar photovoltaic Collaborative robotics Clinatec platform Nano-characterization 300mm platform platform platform nanoelectronic platform 11

JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS ► MEMS in all airbags (shock detection) ► Low-energy ultra-high resolution microscreens ► Detection of pedestrians using bolometric imager (vehicles) ► Battery management (smart home) ► Industrial assembly technology (glassworks, etc.) ► Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (automobile production, steelwork, nuclear field) ► Handling of heavy loads (cobotics and exoskeletons) ► Diagnostics for cable networks using reflectometry (aeronautics, railway) 12

DEFENSE Nuclear weapons Nuclear propulsion Security Conventional defense Strategic materials and non proliferation 13

DEFENSE MISSIONS ► Manufacturing and maintenance of operational nuclear warheads ► Dismantling of retired ► Nuclear reactors nuclear warheads for submarines and aircraft carrier ► Development of future Nuclear Nuclear nuclear warheads ► Ground based facilities weapons propulsion (RES) ► Simulation program ► Basic science and technology studies 14

DEFENSE MISSIONS ► Supplying of nuclear ► Combating ► Evaluation of materials for defense proliferation conventional purposes of nuclear weapons (weapons and nuclear weapons effects propulsion) Strategic Security Conventional ► Combating ► Dismantling and defense materials and non risks and clean up of facilities threats of proliferation CBRN-E terrorism ► Cybersecurity Technology transfer in defense and industry 15

CEA, KEY CONTRIBUTOR TO HIGHER EDUCATION National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology ► Initial and continuous professional training for all disciplines associated with the nuclear field: 22,000 teaching hours per year ► Assists in exporting training: 7,500 students and trainees (of whom 30% are not French) ► Partnerships with universities, businesses, foreign safety authorities, European training networks, etc. IAEA's top collaborating centre for education and training in Europe 16

BRINGING THE PUBLIC CLOSER TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Each year, CEA is in contact with nearly 100,000 people as part of the actions that it organises for teachers, students, elected officials and the general public At CEA centres: career days, visits, speed-dating, hosting interns, teaching training, conferences at all levels, Science Festival, etc. More than 600 multimedia resources accessible to all www.cea.fr 17
