Japanese Ambassador to the United Kingdom Koji Tsuruoka and Consul General of Japan in Edinburgh Daisuke Matsunaga recently toured the Prototype Fast Reactor at Dounreay in Scotland.
The two-day trip also included a meeting with local supplier JGC Engineering and a meeting with Global Energy Group “to see work carried out by renewables companies Atlantis and Meygen which will bring forward energy production from the seas off the north of Scotland, the Pentland Firth,” the U.K. Nuclear Decommissioning Authority said in a press release Friday.
“The development of renewable energy at Global Energy Group and the ongoing decommissioning work at Dounreay contributes to energy security around the world,” Tsuruoka said in a statement. “I applaud their hard work and commitment that demonstrates the spirit of Scotland.”
