Framatome has completed its acquisition of BWX Technologies, Inc.'s U.S. commercial nuclear services business. With this transaction, Framatome expands its comprehensive portfolio of equipment and tooling for nuclear power plant inspections and maintenance, enhancing its position in the nuclear energy sector.
