GNS has developed the CASTOR® geo26JP cask especially for the requirements of the Japanese market.Following the application for a type certificate submitted to the Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in March 2021, GNS will now closely accompany the licensing procedure locally. To this end, it founded the subsidiary GNS Japan K.K. at the beginning of 2021 as a corporation under Japanese law with headquarters in Tokyo.
The office of the new company will be set up in the premises of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Japan at the beginning of the business activities.
