Claim: The ABB Group sold its nuclear power business to British Nuclear Fuels, a manufacturer of nuclear fuel, ran reactors and generated and sold electricity, and its boiler and fossil-fuel operations to Alstom, and focused on the distribution and transmission of renewable energy.
Evidence: Separately, ABB agreed to sell its nuclear power business to British Nuclear Fuels of the United Kingdom. It was a manufacturer of nuclear fuel (notably MOX), ran reactors, generated and sold electricity, reprocessed and managed spent fuel (mainly at Sellafield), and decommissioned nuclear plants and other similar facilities. In 2000, ABB divested its interests in ABB Alstom Power and sold its boiler and fossil-fuel operations to Alstom. Thereafter, ABB's power business was focused on renewable energy and transmission and distribution.
