In the global trend toward decarbonization, Japan has a policy to pursue all options, including nuclear power, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to meet the public requirements for nuclear power, it is important to promote the development of advanced reactors, including the Small Modular Reactor (SMR), as one of the promising options. This article describes the domestic and international trends of SMR development, introduces the activities of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) for the development of advanced reactors including SMRs, and concludes with the future prospect for the introduction of advanced reactor including SMRs in Japan.

JAEA is conducting the research and development on HTGR and hydrogen production using it. We are aiming to realize a system that uses HTGR as a heat source and produces a large amount of hydrogen, which is a clean energy in the future, at low cost without carbon dioxide emission. This system can greatly contribute to the realization of carbon neutral stated by Japanese Government. This report describes the current status of research and development of HTGR including the position of HTGR in the national policy and the current status in the overseas.
