It is an award given to an organization, a group, or an individual that has contributed to the development of safeguards technology and the advancement of knowledge for safeguards and nuclear material management. JNFL is the first private nuclear business operator who has received the award.

We think that our safeguards for the peaceful use of nuclear material and nuclear fuel cycle facilities implemented so far were evaluated highly by INMM and resulted in this award.

We will continue to aim for the establishment of a nuclear fuel cycle and make efforts to realize “Sekai-no-Rokkasho (Rokkasho in the world)”, which is part of our company principle, while pursuing the highest technology in the world.
