Tokai Reprocessing Plant

The Tokai Reprocessing Plant in Japan is a facility that safely processes used nuclear fuel from reactors. Its main function is to separate reusable uranium and plutonium from waste materials, reducing the volume of high-level radioactive waste requiring storage. This allows these materials to be recycled into new nuclear fuel, supporting efficient fuel use and reducing environmental impact. The plant operates under strict regulations to ensure safety and environmental protection. It plays a key role in Japan's nuclear fuel cycle management, enabling the reuse of valuable materials while maintaining high safety standards.
