Yamauchi, who also serves as MHI’s Executive Officer and Deputy General Manager of Nuclear Energy Systems Headquarters, assumed his new position in April. Under his direction, Mitsubishi Nuclear established the Projects Management Division. An early project could be the potential addition of two reactors at Luminant’s existing Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in Texas.
