Official approval on modification of safety measures for JNFL's reprocessing business

Today, JNFL received permission from the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) on modification of safety measures for JNFL's reprocessing business.

Regarding the reprocessing plant, we applied to NRA for the modification of safety measures for our reprocessing business in compliance with the new regulatory standards in January 2014, and safety reviews by the NRA lasted for about six and a half years. We believe today's permission is a big step toward the completion and subsequent safety operation of the reprocessing plant.

We firmly and surely materialize the safety improvement measures into the plant to make it much safer.

JNFL employees, group companies and contracting companies keep working as one team to make every effort toward the completion of the reprocessing plant.
