To protect the global environment and achieve a sustainable society, the Hitachi Group established a long-term plan called "Environmental Vision 2025" whereby its products will contribute to an annual reduction of 100 million tons of CO2 emissions in fiscal 2025 compared with 2005. Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. is helping fulfill this vision by making a significant contribution to reductions in CO2 emissions through its extensive role in the manufacture of nuclear power plants. The company is currently working on ABWRs for two new nuclear power plants in Japan, Unit No. 3 at the Shimane Nuclear Power Station of The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and the Ohma Nuclear Power Plant of Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. Based on Hitachi's considerable experience and track record, these plants are being constructed to the highest global standards for safety and reliability. Construction of these nuclear power plants uses construction methods such as modular construction along with various construction support and construction management technologies to ensure that the work remains on schedule and is spread smoothly, and that more advanced preventive maintenance, manufacturing and logistics management practices are adopted.
