history

In 2000, the nuclear division of the Siemens subsidiary Kraftwerk Union (KWU ) was spun off under the name Siemens Nuclear Power (SNP). 2001 created by the merger of Siemens Nuclear Power and the French company Framatome , the nuclear engineering company Framatome ANP ( A dvanced N uclear P ower ), headquartered in Paris. Siemens held a 34 percent stake in the joint venture. Framatome ANP GmbH was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Framatome ANP, Paris, from the SNP parts of the company located in Germany . In the same year, the companies Framatome and Cogéma , which were predominantly owned by the French state, were merged under the company name Areva . The renaming of Framatome ANP to Areva NP on March 1, 2006 was intended to clarify the integration into the Areva Group; on April 1, 2006 Framatome ANP GmbH changed its company name to Areva NP GmbH . On January 26, 2009, the Managing Board of Siemens AG announced the intended exit from the joint venture . This exit took place in March 2011 after the Fukushima nuclear accidents . On March 18, 2011, Siemens sold its stake in Areva NP for 1.62 billion euros to its parent company Areva. Areva NP GmbH has been operating under the name Areva GmbH in Germany since February 4, 2013 . In June 2015, the French state decided to reorganize the nuclear sector in France. This includes, among other things, the decision to split the previous Areva Group into two companies, temporarily referred to as "Areva NewCo" (New Company) and "New NP". Areva Newco has been trading as Orano since January 2018 ; Areva NP was sold to EDF and has been trading under the Framatome name again since then .
