Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries(MHI) and the Electric Power University (EPU) last week marked the start of the fourth year of MHI’s supported nuclear engineering programme in the university.

The programme, taught by the university’s nuclear power generation department, aims to enable Vietnamese students to master practical expertise in nuclear energy. MHI has contributed to building up the basic educational framework at the university’s Nuclear Power Generation Faculty, including cooperation in preparing course curriculums, since the faculty was established in August 2010.

Besides its cooperation with the Electric Power University, MHI is also endowing courses in nuclear engineering at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology. The company intends to continue its involvement in nuclear engineering education projects of this type in Vietnam in the future.

MHI, headquartered in Tokyo, is one of the world’s leading heavy machinery manufacturers, with consolidated sales of ¥3,349.5 billion in fiscal 2013, the year ended March 31, 2014.

MHI’s products and services encompass shipbuilding, power plants, chemical plants, environmental equipment, steel structures, industrial and general machinery, aircraft, space systems and air-conditioning systems.

To date MHI has constructed 24 pressurized water reactor type nuclear power plants in Japan, and the company has provided full support to the utilities in operating and maintaining these facilities.
