ITER Cadarache (Provence, Alps, Côte d’Azur): Open tenders to scientists and suppliers from all over the world

France has had a high level of expertise in the global civil nuclear energy sector for more than 50 years: from natural uranium graphite gas reactors to new generation EPR reactors, and high pressure water reactors of which it has the largest installed plant in the world.

France is therefore the natural choice to host at Cadarache, the major center for energy research for the French atomic energy commission (“Commissariat français à l’énergie atomique”), the ITER project constructing an experimental nuclear fusion reactor using hydrogen isotopes. (...)

“The French government actively supports research and has introduced the best R&D tax credit system in Europe, which reimburses 50% of R&D costs in the first year. Its budget of over €1.4 billion in 2006 was increased to approximately €2 billion in 2008, following the reform introduced in 2007,” says Philippe Favre, President of Invest in France Agency.
