I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all those who continue to support our nuclear energy business.
Hitachi GE Vernova Nuclear Energy was established in 2007 as a dedicated nuclear energy company through the integration of the management resources of Hitachi, Ltd. and U.S.-based GE Vernova (formerly General Electric), building on approximately 70 years of technology and experience accumulated since Hitachi began its involvement in nuclear energy in the 1950s.
Our mission is to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by ensuring a stable energy supply, reducing CO2 emissions, and reducing the harmfulness of radioactive wastes. To fulfill this mission, we leverage our integrated capabilities across research, design, manufacturing, construction, and maintenance as a core strength, and have delivered high-quality and reliable nuclear technologies in Japan, the United States, and around the world.
By leveraging the collective strengths of the Hitachi Group, we are engaged in technology development and service delivery for the decommissioning and decontamination of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Taking fully into account the lessons learned from the accident at the plant, we are also advancing initiatives to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants and reprocessing facilities, support plant restarts, complete the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant, and construct new nuclear power plants.
In fulfilling our responsibility to advance nuclear energy for future generations, we place strong emphasis on the continuous enhancement of safety and the strengthening of technological capabilities. In close collaboration with domestic and international partners, the Hitachi Group, and GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, we are promoting the application of advanced technologies including digital solutions and robotics, as well as initiatives toward the practical deployment of innovative light-water reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs).
Above all, our business is driven by “people.” With health and safety as our highest priorities, we advance our business by ensuring regulatory compliance and fostering a strong safety culture, with “safety first” as the guiding principle for all our business activities.
In the field of nuclear energy, which is essential to society, we aim to continue taking on challenges with pride and to work together with all stakeholders to shape the future.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with all stakeholders.
