Japan gets new U for enrichment as global power and fuel plans grow
President Trump is in Japan today, with a visit with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the agenda. Takaichi, who took office just last week as Japan’s first female prime minister, has already spoken in favor of nuclear energy and of accelerating the restart of Japan’s long-shuttered power reactors, as Reuters and others have reported. Much of the uranium to power those reactors will be enriched at Japan’s lone enrichment facility—part of Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd.’s Rokkasho fuel complex—which accepted its first delivery of fresh uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) in 11 years earlier this month.

Many utilities are experiencing large numbers of new to nuclear hires and rapid progression and promotion of employees within their organizations as we experience higher levels of employee attrition. This session will explore multiple approaches to developing our supervisors and managers and leveraging training to provide technical related content to improve plant knowledge and developmental courses to improve leadership skills and maintain a strong organization through these personnel changes.
