Mitsubishi Heavy Industries order parts from around the world

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, one of the biggest industrial companies in the world that makes lots of large heavy and very high quality components for nuclear plants - has set up a special office to go out and get orders for the parts from around the world.

Nuclear power plants have design lives of about 40 years, but often the operators replace the large components before then (sometimes increasing generation capacity) and the re-license them to operte longer. Almost all the plants in the USA are licensed for 60 years life now. New plants are designed to have the large components replaced once during a 60-year design life.

Anyway, Mitsubishi heavy already have a large part of this market, they can only see it getting bigger and they want more.
