Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (ESS) chief nuclear officer Yanase Goro said: “We are pleased to be working with AECOM, which has abundant experience in large decommissioning services.

“In Japan, there are 24 commercial reactors, including Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 to 4, which have been decided to be decommissioned or are under consideration for decommissioning, and those are predominantly planned by each utility owner.

“We will work hard during this collaboration and will introduce various technologies made available globally, both in-house and outsourced, as well as meet the needs of each client for power plants in Japan and contribute to effective decommissioning planning.”

AECOM is delivering it services for the US Department of Energy at main sites such as Hanford, Savannah River, Oak Ridge and the Waste Isolation pilot plant.
