Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry
Encyclopedia
The Central Research Institute of (the) Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) is a Japanese
non-profit foundation that conducts research and development of technologies in a variety of scientific and technical fields related to the electric power industry. Also, CRIEPI researches many aspects of social matters through subordinate laboratories. CRIEPI not only engages in research and education in Japan, but also provides education, training and technology transfer
worldwide.
It is similar to the U.S.
EPRI, though its energy research extends into areas that could be considered to be in the domain of the USDOE's national laboratories in the United States, such as research and design of fission reactor concepts.
In 2004, CRIEPI has developed a U.S. presence due to the proposed Galena Nuclear Power Plant
in Galena, Alaska, that is proposed to use an advanced reactor design - the Toshiba 4S
- developed by Toshiba Corporation and CRIEPI.
