Exploring the Potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)

On November 28, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, an insightful seminar titled "The Possibilities of SMRs and the Introduction Status of BWRX-300" will be held, featuring an esteemed speaker, Masanobu Moriwaki, the Head of the International Nuclear Technology Division at Hitachi GE Vernova Nuclear Energy. This event highlights the increasing interest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), particularly in achieving a stable supply of low-carbon energy.

Overview of SMRs and Their Importance

The global demand for electricity is on the rise, alongside the urgent need for a decarbonized society and enhanced energy security. SMRs are being watched as a possible solution for these pressing needs, offering a new option for stable low-carbon power generation. The seminar will delve into the concept of SMRs, showcasing their potentials and addressing the challenges faced by this innovative energy source.

The BWRX-300 Introduction

Focusing on the BWRX-300, the first SMR project in the Western countries, its construction has commenced at Ontario Power Generation's Darlington site, managed by GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH). This project is seen as a significant advancement in the implementation of SMR technology, marking a milestone for clean energy initiatives in North America.

During the seminar, attendees will gain insights into the technical features and the current status of the BWRX-300. It is designed to address energy demands by effectively utilizing advanced reactor technologies while overcoming challenges associated with SMR deployment.
