Power & Nuclear Division

The Energy & Nuclear Power Division handles all types of transactions, including exports, imports, domestic and off-shore trading, and in addition to equipment, components, and fuels and transportation in the fields of power generation, substations, energy chemicals and nuclear power, the Division also supplies core substation equipment overseas and otherwise develops business affairs in alignment with customer needs.

Total coordination of electrical power and energy projects

We are expanding our services domestically and throughout the world in alignment with the needs of a diverse range of customers in our role as a solution provider to electrical power projects involving power generation facilities and substation facilities, which are vital elements for supporting social lifestyles, covering all aspects from the EPC duties that coordinate entire facilities through to supplying individual equipment.

We also provide services for plant engineering companies and petrochemical manufacturers both in Japan and overseas in an intermediatory capacity by supplying them with various types of equipment and materials, such as heat exchangers, pressure containers, and compressors, through importation, exportation, and offshore trading.

In the field of combustion equipment, we inherited thermal technologies from the former KUWABARA Corporation, and with the use of these technologies, we are involved in the design, manufacture, and provision of after-sales services for process burners in heating furnaces, reformer furnaces in oil refineries and petrochemical plants, and duct burners for the reheating of flue gas in gas turbine co-generation systems, and have delivered large quantities of equipment to customers in Japan and overseas.

We are also involved in the development of technologies based on hydrogen and ammonia combustion as part of our initiatives toward decarbonization.

Equipment for nuclear power-related facilities

  • Our company is expanding the import and sale of the following equipment:

    • Remote handling equipment (master/slave manipulators)
    • Airtight and shielding equipment (containers for transporting radioactive substances, and shielding glass)

    These technologies are used in environments with high levels of radioactivity, such as nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and nuclear power research facilities, etc.

    We deliver and provide maintenance for the facilities used for washing the clothes of workers who work in radiation-controlled areas, and the facilities for measuring radioactivity in the waste vapor emitted from waste incineration and processing facilities in nuclear power plants.

  • Master slave manipulator
    Remote transportation trolley

Nuclear fuel and transportation

  • Nuclear fuel storage container

  • Involved in the procurement and transportation of fuel elements (nuclear fuel cartridges) required for operating nuclear reactors used for research purposes and owned by research institutes and universities in Japan. Fuel elements are manufactured by Framatome SAS of France and Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant PJSC (NCCP) of Russia, with whom we have exclusive agency rights. Since many of the fuel elements are custom-made, we also undertake studies with regard to fuel design and manufacturing feasibility based on special specifications.

    In addition, we also procure research samples and radioisotopes, and if the required specifications are not listed in the catalog, we negotiate with overseas manufacturers and then sell custom-made products.

    We are also involved in the import of enriched uranium, which is the raw fuel assembly material for nuclear power plants in Japan. Not only do we arrange for transportation from overseas nuclear fuel plants in Europe and the United States, etc., we also carry out and assist in obtaining the permits for the protection of nuclear material and security export control.

    In addition, we are also engaged in the export of substances containing uranium that are in the possession of nuclear power operators in Japan to overseas factories for recycling purposes.
