Hitachi Ltd. President Hiroaki Nakanishi said Wednesday the company plans to lower its goal of winning orders by fiscal 2030 for 38 atomic power generation projects due to the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
But Nakanishi stressed the company will continue promoting nuclear power, which the company has identified as a core growth area and teamed up with U.S. conglomerate General Electric Co., though it could face a drastic rethink of the business.
"It is natural to review the plan, as the nuclear power business will not be viable without more certain long-term prospects," Nakanishi said in an interview.
