I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported our nuclear energy business and worked together with us.
Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy was established on July 1, 2007, specializing in the nuclear energy business, integrating the management resources of Hitachi and GE Vernova (formerly General Electric) to provide high-quality nuclear technology on a global basis. Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy inherits the technologies and experiences cultivated over approximately 70 years of nuclear energy business started by Hitachi in the 1950s. There is a sister company in the United States called GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy.
We are leveraging the full strength of the Hitachi Group to provide technology development and services related to the decommissioning and decontamination of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In response to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, we are also promoting solutions to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants and reprocessing facilities, restart nuclear power plants, complete the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant, and construct nuclear power plants. Furthermore, to meet the expectations of nuclear power generation in achieving carbon neutrality, improving energy security, and addressing the growing global demand for electricity, we are actively supporting the stable plant operation and developing innovative reactors with enhanced safety.
We aim to provide high-quality services in collaboration with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Hitachi Group companies, and domestic and international partners, covering the entire spectrum of research, design, manufacturing, construction, and maintenance of light water reactors, fast reactors, and fuel cycle. Additionally, through solutions that enhance the value of facilities utilizing highly reliable manufacturing and digital technologies, we will support a stable supply of energy and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the reduction of radioactive waste, and the realization of a decarbonized society.
Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy continues striving to comply with regulations and to foster a culture of safety, while treating the maintenance of nuclear safety as our top priority.
We look forward to meeting and exceeding your expectations for us.
