As the General Chair of the ICAPP2017, I am delighted to invite leaders engaged in nuclear power from countries around the world.
In Japan, a great earthquake occurred off East Japan in 2011. We express our deep apologies to the people who are compelled to live in refuge because of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station resulting from this earthquake. Also, we apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused to nuclear power industries around the world, and express great appreciation for their cooperation and support for the reconstruction of Fukushima.
All nuclear power plants in Japan were shutdown following the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. However, nuclear power plants that meet the strictest regulations in the world are restarting operations in sequence. At the end of this year, more nuclear power plants are expected to restart operations.
To recover trust in nuclear power generation in the future, it is important that we should autonomously and continuously improve safety beyond the regulatory framework. I expect that a wide spectrum of discussions will be held in the world, regarding countermeasures against natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, plant life extension, and safety measures of new plants, etc.
In view of such momentum, ICAPP2017 is being held with the theme "A New Paradigm in Nuclear Power Safety," in which we can learn the latest activities around the world for safety and others. I believe that sharing and developing such knowledge will contribute to the progress of future nuclear power generation technologies around the world.
At the end of my address, I express my sincere appreciation to the nuclear societies, ANS, KNS and SFEN, that co-sponsored ICAPP2017, and associated organizations and individuals. I sincerely hope that discussions at this congress and visits to Fukui and Kyoto will be beneficial for all participants.
