The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Japan (NRA) has said in a draft report that the country’s High-Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) is compatible with new regulatory standards, according to the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (Jaif).
The forum said a final report will be issued after public consultation and approval by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission and the ministry of economy, trade and industry.
Jaif said the NRA examined the HTTR’s resilience against various hypothetical accidents, including tsunami and seismic risks.
