Activities in Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy
for Development of Advanced Reactors
Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. has put forward a vision for nuclear power that seeks
to achieve reduced initial investment risk, reliable power supply over the long term,
and lower radioactive waste toxicity. It is currently developing four new reactor designs
to realize this vision: the HI-ABWR large light-water reactor, the BWRX-300 highly eco-
nomical small modular light-water reactor, the RBWR light-water-cooled fast reactor,
and the PRISM, which is an innovative, small modular sodium-cooled fast reactor. The
HI-ABWR offers a high degree of safety through the rational implementation of equip-
ment as countermeasures to what occurred during the Fukushima accident along with
the introduction of new safety mechanisms. The BWRX-300 has been comprehensively
simplified to provide both safety and economic performance. The RBWR is a fast reac-
tor based on proven light-water cooling technology, and the PRISM combines a high
level of intrinsic safety and economic performance through the adoption of innovative
technologies. In the future, the company intends to continue developing technologies
to provide solutions to global energy problems and to work towards the early practical
implementation of these four reactor designs.
