Yukio Okabe Concludes 3-Year Secondment at WNTI as the Engineering and EPR Specialist

With mixed emotion we’d like to announce the completion of Yukio Okabe's three-year secondment as the Engineering and Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) Specialist. Mr. Okabe, who has been an invaluable asset to the WNTI, will be returning to his home organisation, Nuclear Fuel Transport in Japan, with a wealth of experience and insights gained during his time with WNTI.

The WNTI team extends their heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Okabe for his commitment and contributions. His dedication and proficiency have been a tremendous asset to our team. We are deeply grateful for his efforts and will miss his presence and expertise.

As Mr. Okabe prepares to embark on the next chapter of his professional journey, the WNTI family wishes him the very best in his future endeavours. His legacy of expertise, hard work, and collaboration will undoubtedly continue to influence and inspire the institute long after his departure.

Thank you, Yukio Okabe, for your exemplary service and the positive impact you have made on the World Nuclear Transport Institute. You will be greatly missed by all your colleagues and friends here at WNTI.

“My time at WNTI over these last 3 years has been incredibly fulfilling. During my secondment to WNTI, I was the secretariat for the Back-End Transport Working Group, Spent Fuel Management Working Group, and Emergency Preparedness and Response Working Group, in addition to representing WNTI at IAEA EPReSC meetings. This role offered unique and stimulating challenges that pushed me beyond my previous experiences, but I was able to do my best with the support of the people I engaged with. I am profoundly grateful for the support I have received from the bottom of my heart. Although I will now be re-joining Nuclear Fuel Transport, a WNTI member, and so this marks not an end but rather a new chapter in my story with WNTI. Here’s to the continued success of WNTI—I look forward to our paths crossing again soon.”
