Insights on Global Trends in SMR and Future Prospects: A Seminar by Shuhei Muramatsu

Exploring Global Trends in Small Modular Reactors (SMR)



On August 4, 2025, a significant seminar titled "Insights on Global Trends in SMR and Future Prospects" will take place, led by Shuhei Muramatsu, Assistant Director of the Industrial Research Division, Investment Development Bank of Japan. This event is designed to explore the increasing importance of nuclear power globally and the promising features of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

Seminar Details


The seminar will occur in Tokyo and will also be available via live streaming on Zoom. It will cover various critical aspects of SMR, focusing on technological innovations, developmental trends worldwide, and the challenges and solutions concerning their implementation. Participants can engage in discussions and network through a Q&A session and business card exchange at the end of the seminar.

Growing Demand for Electric Power


As countries increasingly recognize the significance of nuclear energy in meeting rising electricity demands driven by digitization, the attention toward advanced nuclear technologies, particularly SMRs, has escalated. These next-generation reactors promise to overcome longstanding challenges associated with traditional large-scale light-water reactors, making them a potential game-changer in the energy sector.
