Microreactors

Associated Press National Policy Minister Minister Koichiro Gemba National Policy Minister Koichiro Gemba—who is responsible for helping craft energy policy—said that despite the bitterness following the accident at the nuclear-power plant, Japan should consider the use of what are known as microreactors, as a way to help bridge the electricity shortages that plagues the industrial sector. ❋ Mitsuru Obe (2011)

- 4th generation nuclear power reactors are now commercially viable; these include "microreactors" which are self-contained capsules, many designs are meltdown-proof, and one could easily power a small city. ❋ Da_lj (2009)

"The development of microreactors isn't incompatible with the goal of achieving a more distributed power supply," Mr. Gemba said in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. ❋ Mitsuru Obe (2011)
