Peaceful atom in Japan

Prospects on development of nuclear power engineering in Japan are discussed. In the opinion of the Japanese specialists fast reactor is the most efficient, economical and safe basis for solving energy problem. Project on deep-water power facility with fast reactor, intended for power supply of complicated robot-technical complexes, used for prospecting and mining minerals in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, is considered. The facility total weight equals 40 t. Its useful life up to complete burnout of highly-enriched uranium constitutes 9 years
