One year ago, the world witnessed the massive destruction and tragedy of an earthquake and tsunami striking Japan’s east coast. The profound loss of human life, tremendous destruction of property, and crippling damage to nuclear power facilities initiated a global response of compassion and assistance.

AREVA was honored to join the international community in providing aid to the Red Cross in Japan, constructing an effective interim contaminated water treatment system, sending nuclear energy experts to help assess and contain the evolving challenges, and providing needed equipment.
