The Specifics of France’s Policy in the EU in the Field of Nuclear Energy Development in 2021-2023

In the context of global climate change, growing demand for energy resources, and increasing prices for energy resources due to the global energy crisis, issues of development and modernization of nuclear energy are becoming increasingly important and relevant. The French Republic has been one of the world leaders in the field of development and usage of nuclear energy for many decades, and its foreign energy policy in this area has a significant impact on the development of this industry in the European Union. The purpose of this research work is to identify the specifics (specific features) of France's policy in the European Union in the field of nuclear energy development in 2021-2023 and its correlation with the policy of the European Union in this area, as well as to compile a classification of EU member states based on the position taken by states on the issue of active use and the need for the development of nuclear energy in the European Union by the end of 2023.
