Competitive Advantages
Since Japan's first commercial nuclear power plant became operational in Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture, in 1966, nuclear energy has been a major driver of Japan's rapid economic growth. A few years prior, ATOX had signed a maintenance service contract with the Tokai Research Facility of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (currently the Japan Atomic Energy Agency) and played a role in helping nuclear power generation take off in Japan by helping keep nuclear facilities running in good condition.
In the early days, the company led the way in providing operational support for nuclear facilities by resolving a series of issues that arose one after another. Mistakes have no place in radiological control and decontamination. Under such challenging conditions, we worked with electric power companies to do everything we could to keep their nuclear facilities running safety and reliably.
Since then, dozens of nuclear power plants and nuclear research facilities have become operational in Japan, and ATOX has been providing maintenance services to most of them over the past five decades. As a result, we have amassed extensive experience and expertise in the maintenance of nuclear facilities.
