SOCIÉTÉ INDUSTRIELLE DES MINERAIS DE L’OUEST

At the start of the fifties, the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) 
discovered uranium deposits in France, the amount and grade of which 
made them economically operable. It was then necessary of course to build 
processing plants nearby for the uranium ore.
The decision was taken to set up a semi-public company involving Kuhlmann 
(50%), the CEA (10°/o) and the French "Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations" 
(40%), called the Société Industrielle des Minerais de l'Ouest, in charge of 
building and operating plants for processing ores recovered from CEA mines.
