Japan Atomic Industrial Forum

Japanese industries including Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Fuji Electric, Toyo Tanso, Nuclear Fuel Industries, etc., are developing the HTGR jointly with JAEA. The industrial and public information exchange is supported by the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF), the Research Association of High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Plant (RAHP), etc.

As of January 1, 2009, the number of nuclear power plants around the world is 432, and their total output is 390 GW in electricity. PWRs account for about 60% and BWRs for about 20% of the total. This means LWRs account for around 80% of reactors and serve as the major nuclear power plant worldwide (Japan Atomic Industrial Forum Inc 2009).
