| - Alliance with Cavendish Nuclear and AREVA - |
TOKYO, Nov 11, 2015 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. (Hitachi-GE) announces the conclusion of cooperative agreements with both Cavendish Nuclear Limited (Cavendish Nuclear) in the UK and AREVA NC S.A. (AREVA) in France, with respect to Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Decommissioning in Japan.
Hitachi-GE will take preparatory steps towards decommissioning for domestic BWR, fully reflected by past international experience of both companies.
Currently, intensive studies have been launched how to decommission nuclear reactors in this country. In concert with these actions, some utility companies have started concrete preparation for their decommissioning programs. Through past development, design, construction, and maintenance experience in Japan, Hitachi-GE is capable to utilize its past technology, experience and know-how, to propose and support utility companies' planning and works.
To strengthen this goal, Hitachi-GE will collaborate with the two international companies which are well established and respected providers of nuclear engineering and decommissioning services: Cavendish Nuclear is a UK company and has significant experience of decommissioning planning and engineering, waste management and reactor decommissioning for UK and European Gas-Cooled and light water Nuclear Reactors. In addition, AREVA, a French company, has accumulated robust decommissioning experiences not only in the Europe but also in the United States, including BWR reactors.
Hitachi-GE would like to take a lead in decommissioning business by reflecting each company's advantageous position from the early stage of the study. By utilizing the above framework, it is Hitachi's position to propose superior proposals for our customers.
