JNFL’s and MHI’s equity stake in Orano

Orano has been a partner of the Japanese nuclear industry since the 1960s. For almost 50 years, the group has been a major supplier to all of Japan’s electricity companies. It was therefore quite naturally that Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) each acquired a 5% equity stake in Orano in February 2018.
