Overview
Nuclear Fuel Industries (NFI, 原子燃料工業/原燃工) is a Japanese nuclear fuel manufacturer. According to its president's message, since its founding in 1972 it has operated under a management philosophy of contributing to society by contributing to the development of the nuclear industry, and it describes itself as the only domestic nuclear fuel fabrication manufacturer able to supply both boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel types. Its business also covers engineering for mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication, development and manufacture of fuels such as high-temperature gas reactor fuel, fuel-related systems and equipment supply and maintenance based on core management and safety design software and analysis technologies, and non-destructive inspection and diagnosis services. Its headquarters is in Tsurumi, Yokohama, with offices and plants including the Kumatori Works, Tokai Works, Izumiotsu Plant, Osaka Sales Department, Kyushu, Shikoku and Tohoku branches, and a European office in Paris.
History
According to the president's message on its official site, Nuclear Fuel Industries has pursued business development since its founding in 1972 under the management philosophy of "engaging in creative and steady corporate activities based on respect for humanity, and contributing to society by contributing to the development of the nuclear industry." It states that as the only domestic nuclear fuel fabrication manufacturer able to supply both boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel types, it has used advanced technology to stably supply high-quality nuclear fuel without accidents. It further states that it has grown as a company supporting Japan's nuclear industry through MOX fuel fabrication engineering, development and manufacture of various fuels including high-temperature gas reactor fuel, supply and maintenance of fuel-related systems and equipment based on core management and safety design software and analysis technologies, and non-destructive inspection and diagnosis. The message also states that the company revised its medium- to long-term business strategy "Vision 2040" in 2025, setting two axes: growth from "a company that makes nuclear fuel" to "a company that supports the nuclear fuel cycle," and growth into a company that can create new value centered on nuclear fuel.
