Belgonucleaire · Brussels Belgium

From its base in Belgium, Belgonucleaire fuels the nuclear world. The company produces mixed oxide (MOX), a combination of depleted uranium oxide and plutonium oxide that is used as fuel in nuclear power plants. Belgonucleaire also has a nuclear engineering branch, which researches nuclear fuels, builds equipment for MOX production factories, and develops systems to dispose of nuclear waste safely. The engineering branch also works with other nuclear firms to neutralize plutonium left over from dismantled nuclear weapons. The Belgian national government owns 50% of the company, which was founded in 1957. To read the full description, subscribe now.
