First of all, on behalf of Nuclear Fuel Transport Co., Ltd. (NFT), I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to everybody affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 resulted in the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station operated by The Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. This has triggered drastic changes in the environment surrounding Japan’s nuclear power sector. Under these circumstances, with the accurate understanding of the lessons learnt through the disasters, we will do our utmost to consistently accomplish our goal—providing safe, reliable transport services.

 

NFT adheres to the mission of supporting the stability of Japan’s nuclear power generation through transport operations—an integral part of the nation’s nuclear fuel cycle. Since its founding in 1973, NFT has embraced safety and reliability as its foremost principle in nuclear materials transportation. Taking on challenges to achieve the ultimate in safe transport operations, we have steadily built a track record in this field.
NFT accommodates various customer needs through its services as a general engineering company in the field of nuclear materials transport. Now, NFT is expected to fulfill an increasingly important role in such areas as the transportation of spent fuel to interim storage facilities, as well as in the transportation of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and reactor dismantling waste.
NFT understands the significance of the responsibility assigned to it. To fulfill such responsibility, we are reinforcing risk management. We are strengthening personnel development while continuing to enhance vessels and other equipment, technologies and capabilities required for our transport operations. We are bolstering quality management and collaboration with group and partner companies while proactively working to ensure compliance with relevant international standards. We are taking all these measures to promote safe transport, thereby satisfying customer needs and contributing to the sound development of society.

 

We ask you for your unwavering support and understanding, as we pursue our mission.
