Next-generation nuclear reactors that use radioactive waste materials as fuel
Hitachi announced today
that they have begun joint research with three American universities
aimed at using Transuranium Elements (TRUs) as fuel, and the development
of Resource-renewable Boiling Water Reactors (RBWRs) that enable the
effective use of uranium resources. Through this joint research, Hitachi
plans to evaluate the performance and safety of RBWRs, which is being
developed by Hitachi and Hitachi GE Nuclear Energy Ltd., and to study
plans for testing with a view toward practical applications with each
university.
