competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u3053\u306e\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8\u306f\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u306e\u6280\u8853\u7523\u696d\u306b\u304a\u3044\u3066\u3001\u5de5\u5b66\u3001\u30c7\u30b8\u30bf\u30eb\u6280\u8853\u3001AI\u3001\u5148\u7aef\u88fd\u9020\u306a\u3069\u3001\u6280\u8853\u9032\u6b69\u306e\u3055\u307e\u3056\u307e\u306a\u5206\u91ce\u3067\u30a4\u30ce\u30d9\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3092\u751f\u307f\u51fa\u3059\u3082\u306e\u3068\u671f\u5f85\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\u3053\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3057\u3066\u3001\u4fe1\u983c\u6027\u306e\u9ad8\u3044\u4f4e\u70ad\u7d20\u96fb\u529b\u306e\u4e16\u754c\u7684\u306a\u9700\u8981\u304c\u9ad8\u307e\u308a\u7d9a\u3051\u308b\u4e2d\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u306f\u6301\u7d9a\u53ef\u80fd\u306a\u539f\u5b50\u529b\u767a\u96fb\u306e\u672a\u6765\u306b\u304a\u3044\u3066\u3001\u4e3b\u8981\u306a\u8ca2\u732e\u56fd\u306e\u4e00\u3064\u3068\u3057\u3066\u306e\u5730\u4f4d\u3092\u78ba\u7acb\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u308b\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3002.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese nation is yet making another move towards enhancing its future energy security after Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has started developing small modular reactors (SMRs), the newest nuclear technology which will help to generate safer, flexible, and more cost-effective nuclear power. This development comes after the Japanese government made it clear that they are committed to utilizing nuclear energy as much as possible as their future energy plan and this is the first private initiative for SMR development in Japan. As per recent news, MHI is expected to get support from the government in its development process as it tries to build reactors that can withstand earthquakes and tsunamis.
