Over 60 percent of the radioactive waste volume in France in 2021 was a byproduct of the nuclear electricity sector. Economic activities classified as electronuclear industry include nuclear power plants for electricity production, facilities for the extraction and fabrication of nuclear fuels, and disposal and recycling of nuclear waste. Close to 30 percent of the nuclear waste stored in France that year was generated by research activities. Most of the radioactive waste stored in France had a low-to-intermediate or very low level of radioactivity.
