The purpose of this facility is to carry out vitrification melter trials, remote-controlled maintenance, disassembly and demolition trials and operational training, and JGC was placed in charge of EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) of the mechanical, electrical and associated equipment.
After landing the contract in August 2010, JGC overcame material shortages and delays in construction due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck in March 2011, and completed construction in October 2013. Smooth operation of this facility has been contributing to the stable operation of the reprocessing plant.
