The move has three aims: to further strengthen the company's accumulated EPC technology and knowhow through integration; to respond swiftly to business opportunities involving large-scale infrastructure projects, which are now increasing in the overseas markets; and to boost profits from EPC operations while also providing support for business expansion of core products. The new business unit is also planned to function as a headquarters overseeing the company's solutions business, including smart community-related matters.]]></description>

The unprecedented "Principles of Conduct" reflect the participating companies' commitment to their customers and all those who stand to benefit from nuclear power to assemble and share best practices that reinforce and enhance existing codes, standards and regulations. They articulate concisely the nuclear power plant industry's shared high standards in the areas of safety, security, environmental protection and spent fuel management, compensation in the unlikely event of nuclear-related damage, nonproliferation and ethics. No such voluntary, comprehensive, export-oriented code of conduct has previously existed in the nuclear industry. ]]></description>
