“We welcome our new colleagues to Framatome’s worldwide team of engineers and experts,” said Framatome CEO Bernard Fontana. “Framatome has been in Canada for more than 50 years and we are reinforcing our commitment to growing our operations in the country. The acquisition of RCM’s nuclear power systems division enhances our unique expertise in engineering, procurement and construction for the nuclear energy industry and positions us well to serve our Canadian customers.”
