British Nuclear Fuels plc
 PROFILE
Facing a meltdown in credibility, British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) has reacted to fallout by overhauling management and revamping operations. The UK state-owned company manufactures nuclear fuels, manages eight nuclear power plants, and provides nuclear waste cleanup and plant decommissioning services. BNFL also recycles used nuclear fuel to make mixed-oxide fuel (MOX) at its Sellafield site. Falsified safety data at the plant has caused Japanese, German, and Swiss firms to reject BNFL's MOX shipments. The scandal has spurred a management shake-up, and the UK government has postponed its plan to privatize 49% of BNFL. The company has expanded by acquiring the nuclear operations of Westinghouse and ABB.
