    In order to achieve a 46% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 for the realization of "GX", Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. is providing support for restarting BWRs based on its experience with PWRs. To comply with the new regulatory requirements, BWR plants are implementing safety measures, in which we assist with its holistic capabilities and knowledge/experience acquired through past PWR restart projects. This report presents examples of such safety measures. Through these projects, the safe and stable operation of nuclear power plants is supported.
