Toshiba eyes U.S. approval to test small nuclear reactor
Toshiba plans to apply for federal approval this year to test its 4S -- or "super-safe, small and simple" -- nuclear reactor in Galena, Alaska, according to reports. "We aim to get 4S orders in remote areas where it is more cost-efficient to generate power on a local basis than use power grids," company spokesman Keisuke Ohmori said.
