Introduction of New Reactors

Innovative
light-water reactor
An innovative reactor that instituted new safety mechanisms based on the ABWR international standards
Small modular reactor
A small modular reactor that achieved high level of safety through a combination of accident impact mitigation and static safety equipment based on innovative safety technologies

Transition in Development

Based on our experience in BWR construction and fuel recycling technologies and through open innovation, we have internationally developed advanced reactors that are capable of stably supplying power over the long term, reducing the initial investment risk, and reducing the harmfulness of radioactivity.
