“I am delighted to take on this role as President at this time” states Mr Quilichini. “2021 has been a turning point for nuclear as a sector and FORATOM as an association. Over the next two years I hope to continue contributing to this positive movement as an ever-increasing number of stakeholders recognise that nuclear has a key role to play in society”.

is the life extension program of EDF’s French nuclear fleet. Prior to this, he was Director of EDF Corporate Audit as well as Director of the Board of EDF Energy Nuclear Generation.
