Safe and Sustainable Recycling of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Spent nuclear fuel continues to emit radiation even after being used in reactors. We are researching and developing various methods to safely and efficiently process this valuable resource. Through rigorous management and scientific approaches, we ensure the safety of both the environment and humanity. From long-term storage to reprocessing and final disposal, we responsibly manage spent nuclear fuel according to the latest technologies and regulations. By pursuing sustainable energy use and the safe handling of radioactive materials, we provide a secure environment for future generations.
