TOKYO -- The Japan Atomic Energy Agency will help develop cutting-edge nuclear reactors in the U.K. that could come online by the early 2030s for safety and feasibility testing.
The government-backed agency said Monday it will work on high-temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) as part of a team led by Britain's National Nuclear Laboratory. Such reactors involve construction materials and design features that can make them safer than conventional nuclear reactors.
