(Author)ħ6 FR 40714 - Decision and Order Granting a Waiver to Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA, Inc. The safety system designs of six key items, which were discussed in the recent review of overseas designs by British utilities, are addressed to show the difference in the design philosophy between the United Kingdom and Japan. The high reliability of nuclear power plants is especially emphasized in Mitsubishi PWRs, and this has been demonstrated by the good operating experience of PWR plants in Japan. PWR plants are designed in accordance with the Japanese regulatory guidelines which are similar to American and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety criteria and are based on defence-in-depth principles. The basic safety design philosophy of Mitsubishi pressurized water reactors (PWRs) is discussed and compared with the British PWR. Safety design philosophy of Mitsubishi PWRs The company's main overseas sales are of jet fuel, lubricating and tanker oils, sulphur and some petrochemicals. Mitsubishi has a network of 4500 service stations in Japan and has become one of the largest lubricating oil producers. It aims to cover 30 % of the crude oil imports to its four existing, and fifth projected, refineries from owned sources by the end of the century. In addition it has a strategic stake in the Canadian Athabasca Far Sands, major investments in Angola and operations in Papua New Guinea and Gabon. Recently the company has discovered a major new oilfield off the coast of Vietnam. Before that, since 1981, it had been a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Getty oil. Mitsubishi Oil became a wholly-owned Japanese company in 1984. International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Mitsubishi Oil to become a major oil player?
