Japan Nuclear Fuel Co., Ltd. (JNF), the predecessor of Global Nuclear Fuel - Japan Co., Ltd. (GNF-J), started operation here in Kurihama in 1967 as a nuclear fuel manufacturing joint venture among General Electric Company (US), Toshiba Corporation and Hitachi Limited.
Since it began supplying the first domestically produced nuclear fuel in 1971, GNF-J, a pioneer nuclear fuel manufacturer, has delivered more than 70,000 fuel bundles to various nuclear power plants across the country and contributed to the stable supply of energy in Japan.
On January 1, 2000, the sales, design and development operations were transferred from the three joint venture partners to JNF and JNF made a new start as a GE group company, later changing its name to GNF-J, by offering core management services as well as handling MOX fuel design and quality control. Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A), located in North Carolina, USA, also supplies fuel and provides peripheral technology in the U.S. and around the globe.
Based in the U.S. and Japan, GNF takes advantage of the global scale of its business activities.
