GNF-J Environmental Policy

We are aware that preserving the global environment is a common concern for everybody and that GNF-J can contribute to the prevention of global warming by supplying nuclear fuel. Pursuing environmental conservation and maintaining a good relationship with the local community are key priorities for GNF-J. We are committed to continuously improving our environmental management system and performance and prevention of contamination.
