Nuclear Propulsion & Defence

TechnicAtome combines its experience as a designer of naval propulsion nuclear reactors and an operator of nuclear defence facilities.

Throughout successive generations, the nuclear submarines of the French Navy have been propelled in complete safety by compact nuclear reactors designed by TechnicAtome.

TechnicAtome's staff conduct large projects at different stages of development and guarantee their customers the highest levels of availability while respecting the highest safety requirements.
