Nukem?

Here's a tidbit from World Nuclear News: Russia's AtomStroyExport (ASE) has completed its purchase of the Nukem Technologies subsidiary of Germany's Nukem. The two companies signed a contract in August regarding the sale of the business, which specialises in decommissioning, waste management and engineering services.
There was no mention of any plans to change the name of the company. Apparently no one's figured out yet that it might seem inappropriate in some English-speaking countries for a company whose business is nuclear safety to be called Nuke 'Em!

  1. The merger has inspired a Russian shopping center to change its name to the Nukem Mall.
