An updated green growth strategy calls for Japan’s nuclear energy industry to cooperate internationally on fast reactor development and the demonstration of small modular reactor technology, industry group the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (Jaif) said.
According to Jaif, the strategy, published by Japan’s ministry of economy, trade and industry (Meti) did not include any reference to fast reactor development in an earlier version December 2020.
The demonstration of technology for SMRs is needed by 2030, the updated strategy says.
