Offshore nuclear power plants are being considered as a way to further improve the safety of nuclear power plants against natural disasters and to reduce the burden on the surrounding population. Offshore reactors present many challenges in terms of their operation, maintenance and safety management, but the adoption of SMRs will eliminate some of the concerns in offshore locations. By making the platform mobile, operations such as operation as an energy supply source for remote island areas and large-scale disaster areas, and direct supply of short-life RI produced using SMRs to areas of demand, will be considered, and the adaptability as a marine SMR in Japan will be discussed.
