CEO MESSAGE

Since its foundation, we at Mitsubishi Nuclear Fuel have strived to provide stable nuclear energy to the people of Japan, while gaining the understanding of local communities in this region of Tokai, always recognizing that safety and security are paramount, and upholding “Contribute to people, societies and the global environment through nuclear fuel business　activities” as our corporate mission.
The nuclear fuel that we manufacture plays an important role in supporting the “nuclear power of the future,” which is positioned as semi-domestic energy, in order to realize a decarbonized society and provide a stable supply of energy.
For this reason, we cleared new regulatory requirements to ensure safety, and in March 2023 we were reborn as a specialist company producing reliable and high-performance nuclear fuels.
Furthermore, while maintaining a global perspective, we will continue to work tirelessly to improve and develop technologies based on the technological capabilities and brand power we have cultivated over 50 years to meet your expectations.
