TOKYO -- Japan's government is mulling plans to export next-generation nuclear reactors that promise a greater degree of safety, with Poland lined up as the probable first destination.
The move, which would involve high temperature gas reactors, or HTGRs, is part of the government's infrastructure export strategy. Poland, which is turning to nuclear power as a cleaner energy option, is looking at acquiring about 20 such reactors -- equipment worth more than 1 trillion yen ($9 billion).
