The company developed a glass-badge personal dosimeter\u2014Chiyoda Technol\u2019s strongest field of expertise\u2014jointly with the French Institut de radioprotection et de s\u00fbret\u00e9 nucl\u00e9aire (IRSN, or the Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute), having delivered it to that organization. Not only is it regarded as a highly-evaluated technical achievement, but also as a significant contribution to the cooperative relationship between the two countries in the area of radiological protection technology.<\/p>\n
At the ceremony, French Ambassador to Japan Laurent Pic emphasized that the dosimeter developed jointly with Chiyoda Technol had been of major benefit to IRSN, and that the company manifested an attitude and atmosphere for \u201cmaking good products.\u201d He also praised its technological capabilities and spirit of providing service. <\/p>\n
Noting further that dosimeters based on Chiyoda Technol\u2019s technology are being used around the world, the ambassador credited Hosoda\u2019s leadership of the company over many years. \u201cChairman Hosoda has contributed immeasurably not only to French-Japanese cooperation, but also to the people of the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As he accepted the award from the ambassador, the chairman displayed his joy openly, declaring his gratitude for the \u201chonorable order.\u201d He then talked about the background of how Chiyoda Technol, which had been providing film-badge dosimeters for measuring personal dosage for many years, came to improve the performance of the equipment, and how it managed to put glass-badge devices to practical use. <\/p>\n
For the first time in its history, the company then invited international bidding on the glass-badge dosimeters. In 2005, it received an inquiry from IRSN. The company sent employees to Paris and worked together with JCC Corporation, eventually receiving the bid. Encouraged by that award, Chairman Hosoda renewed his hope of \u201cmaking further progress in French-Japanese cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the past decade, about 150 Japanese individuals have been awarded the French Ordre national du M\u00e9rite. In recent years, the Chevalier rank was also bestowed upon President Naohiro Masuda of Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. (JNFL) (then president of the Fukushima Daiichi Decontamination & Decommissioning Engineering Company).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
