What are the fuel constraints the French have that we don't?

Is it geographic (we have a lot more unused/undesirable than France, for example), regulatory, etc?

They had access to uranium sourced cheaply from former North African colonies, but now they no longer have that access.

We have ample deposits and (for now) easy access to Canadian deposits. I imagine that there are deals in place to secure that access at an efficient price given the national security angle at play.

Ah, you meant differences in access to fuel, not differences in storing the waste.
