KURION OPENS TOKYO OFFICE

Kurion has opened an office in Tokyo in an effort to support its expanded role at the Fukushima cleanup site. The company already has a presence with the cleanup through its water treatment technologies, and it expects to grow its role at the site in the coming year. “Following the third anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan and damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Kurion’s new Tokyo office is a symbol of our commitment to the Japanese to help minimize and stabilize nuclear waste at the site,” said Kurion CEO Bill Gallo in a statement. The new office is located in the Shimbashi district of Tokyo, which is walking distance from the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry, and the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, according to the company.
