Amended legislation includes major research and development push with SMRs, Generation IV and clean hydrogen The Flamanville-3 EPR is the only nuclear power plant under construction in FRance. Courtesy EDF. The French Senate has adopted an amended bill that aims to reduce bureaucracy around the construction of new nuclear reactors and includes a provision for the removal of a 50% cap on the share of nuclear power in the electricity mix by 2035.

The bill, which still needs to go before the National Assembly, was adopted in first reading on 24 January by 239 votes to 16.

The bill aims to speed up procedures related to the construction of new nuclear facilities near existing nuclear sites and to the operation of existing installations.

Energy minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher hopes to save up to 56 months on construction by simplifying administrative procedures for building new facilities near existing nuclear sites.

The bill says France will pursue research and innovation efforts in the direction of nuclear energy and low-carbon hydrogen, in particular by supporting pressurised European reactors, small modular reactors, Generation IV reactors and the €20bn ($21bn) International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (Iter) nuclear fusion plant under construction at Cadarache in southern France.
