M. Christophe Blanchet interroge M. le ministre auprès du ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la souveraineté industrielle et numérique, chargé de l'industrie et de l'énergie, sur la place du nucléaire civil en Europe et la nécessité impérieuse de garantir la souveraineté énergétique des États membres de l'Union européenne. Le contexte géopolitique actuel met en évidence une reconfiguration mondiale des approvisionnements énergétiques, soulignant la dépendance préoccupante de l'Union européenne en la matière. Tandis que les États-Unis, sous l'impulsion du Président Donald Trump, ont réaffirmé leur ambition de domination énergétique par le biais de politiques favorisant l'exploitation intensive des ressources fossiles et nucléaires, la Russie poursuit également une stratégie de contrôle des ressources minérales et énergétiques, rendant ses entreprises comme Rosatom et Gazprom incontournables sur le marché mondial. Face à ces dynamiques, l'Union européenne affiche une vulnérabilité énergétique manifeste. Selon Eurostat, en 2023, les États membres importaient en moyenne 58 % de leur énergie, certains pays comme l'Allemagne, l'Italie ou l'Espagne dépassant même les 65 %, voire 75 % pour d'autres. La France, grâce à son parc nucléaire, limite cette dépendance à 44 %, démontrant ainsi le rôle essentiel du nucléaire dans la garantie de sa souveraineté énergétique. Pourtant, malgré cette réalité, le plan industriel du Pacte vert présenté par la Commission européenne en février 2025 néglige largement la question de l'indépendance énergétique des États membres et sous-évalue le rôle crucial du nucléaire décarboné, alors même que celui-ci constitue un atout stratégique pour répondre aux objectifs de réduction des émissions de CO2 tout en assurant une production énergétique stable et compétitive. Historiquement, l'Union européenne a pourtant reconnu l'importance du nucléaire civil, comme en témoigne le traité Euratom signé en 1957. Or, aujourd'hui, l'absence de volonté claire au niveau européen menace l'équilibre énergétique du continent et pourrait exposer l'UE à une double dépendance accrue, tant à l'égard des États-Unis que de la Russie. Dans ce contexte, quelles actions le Gouvernement entend-il mener pour affirmer avec force, auprès des instances européennes, la nécessité de reconnaître pleinement le nucléaire civil comme un pilier de la souveraineté énergétique de l'Union européenne ? Il souhaite savoir si la France envisage de proposer une initiative européenne visant à consolider et développer la filière nucléaire sur le continent, tant pour la production d'électricité que pour la recherche et l'innovation technologique dans ce domaine.

Securing the Cities Improvement Act This bill makes changes to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office's (CWMD's) Securing the Cities program, which seeks to detect nuclear or radiological materials to prevent terrorist attacks and other events posing a risk to cities in the United States. Specifically, the bill requires the CWMD to establish performance metrics and milestones for the program and to track performance against them. Also, under current law, in carrying out the Securing the Cities program, the CWMD may only partner with cities that are high-risk urban areas , which are designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency under a different program. Instead, the bill requires the CWMD to designate the jurisdictions it may partner with for the program, and the designations must be based on the capability and capacity of the jurisdiction relating to preparedness and response, as well as the relative threat to, vulnerability of, and consequences for, such jurisdiction regarding terrorist attacks and other high-consequence events utilizing nuclear or radiological materials. Additionally, within two years of enactment of the bill, the CWMD must submit a report to Congress regarding participation in the Securing the Cities program, the establishment of metrics and milestones, performance against such metrics and milestones, and plans for any changes to the program.

Financing Our Energy Future Act This bill allows a publicly traded partnership to derive income from certain clean energy-related activities and still be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As background, a publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market (or readily tradable on a secondary market). A publicly traded partnership generally is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes unless 90% or more of such partnership’s gross income is qualifying income. Under current law, qualifying income includes interest and dividends; real property rents; gain from the sale (or disposition) of real property; income from certain activities related to minerals and natural resources, source carbon dioxide, and the transportation or storage of certain fuels; and gain from the sale (or disposition) of a capital asset or commodities. Under the bill, the qualifying income is expanded to include income derived from electric power (or thermal energy) generated from renewable energy sources (e.g., wind and solar energy), qualified gasification projects, or advanced nuclear facilities; accepting or processing open-loop biomass or municipal solid waste (by certain facilities); the storage of electric power or thermal energy using certain energy storage technology; the generation, storage, or distribution of electric power (or thermal energy) using combined heat and power system property; fuels that use certain carbon oxides as primary feedstock; certain renewable chemicals; transportation or storage of liquefied or compressed hydrogen; the conversion of renewable biomass; and certain carbon capture and sequestration facilities.

M. Romain Daubié attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique, de la biodiversité, de la forêt, de la mer et de la pêche au sujet de la circulaire du 17 février 2010 relative à la maîtrise des activités au voisinage des installations nucléaires de base (INB) susceptibles de présenter des dangers à l'extérieur du site, dite circulaire « Borloo ». En droit, la loi n° 2006-686 du 13 juin 2006 relative à la transparence et à la sécurité en matière nucléaire, dite loi TSN, fixe le cadre juridique nécessaire à la maîtrise des activités autour des installations nucléaires de base. La maîtrise de l'urbanisation et des activités dans l'environnement des installations nucléaires de base doit notamment être réalisée par des servitudes d'utilité publique, conformément à l'article 31 de loi susmentionnée. La circulaire en date du 17 février 2010, dite circulaire « Borloo », a complété la loi du 13 juin 2006 en précisant les modalités de maîtrise des activités autour des installations nucléaires. Concrètement, sur la base des informations techniques communiquées par la division territoriale de l'autorité de sûreté nucléaire à propos des zones de danger, les préfets doivent informer les communes ou les établissements publics de coopération intercommunale ayant compétence en matière d'urbanisme concernés. La circulaire indique de privilégier un développement des activités à l'extérieur de cette zone. À l'intérieur de cette zone, le texte permet de refuser les projets qui s'avéreraient incompatibles avec les objectifs de sécurité des populations concernées ou de prescrire des conditions les rendant acceptables en application de l'article R. 111-2 du code de l'urbanisme. Reste que si cette circulaire n'était mise en place que de façon transitoire à l'origine, à ce jour, elle perdure et engendre des difficultés pour les projets d'urbanisme des communes ayant des centrales ou des établissements nucléaires implantés sur leur territoire. Ces communes, regroupées au sein de l'association des représentants des communes d'implantation de centrales et établissements nucléaires (ARCICEN), font l'objet de nombreux recours administratifs vis-à-vis des projets d'urbanisme qu'elles souhaitent mettre en place, alors même que ceux-ci sont nécessaires pour la création de logements, d'écoles, de gendarmeries ou encore de maisons de santé, face à la hausse d'habitants aux abords des centrales. Dans l'attente du rapport sur la circulaire dite « Borloo» attendu pour le mois de juin 2024 et compte tenu de la mise en application de la loi n° 2023-491 du 22 juin 2023 relative à l'accélération des procédures liées à la construction de nouvelles installations nucléaires à proximité de sites nucléaires existants et au fonctionnement des installations existantes, il semble également nécessaire de prendre des mesures s'agissant de la circulaire dite « Borloo » afin que les communes d'implantation et d'établissements nucléaires puissent mener à bien les projets d'urbanisme utiles à la collectivité publique. Il lui demande de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour faire face aux difficultés engendrées par cette circulaire pour les communes d'implantation et d'établissements nucléaires et souhaite connaître ses intentions à ce sujet.
