More on Nuclear Construction and RFID

Back in January, we pointed to a piece that talked about how Hitachi was planning to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track components during the construction of nuclear power plants. Now Hitachi has announced that they plan to implement this in reactor construction as soon as 2007, using the technology to track the work history of 50,000 pipes.

Thanks to RFID in Japan for the pointer.
