TOKYO — IHI has completed a prototype component for a next-generation nuclear plant in Romania, the Japanese industrial group said Tuesday, viewing the power project as a chance to maintain its technology and expertise in the field as the industry in Japan stalls.
The company finished a mock-up of a side wall module for the reactor building of a small modular reactor (SMR) to be built by U.S. partner NuScale Power, in which IHI holds a stake. The steel structure will be filled with cement and installed as part of the wall.
