Orano said its new name derived from Ouranos, the Greek god who became Uranus in Roman mythology

How do you think that board meeting went?

"No really, it means Uranium, I swear..."

I have no news of Orano, but it is good to be back to Framatome (French American Atomic) for those who ever wondered where that name came from!  The corporate name "Areva" was inspired by the Trappist Santa María la Real monastery in Arévalo in Spain. Go figure...
