Nuclear reactor restarts in Japan are projected to boost Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' (MHI) nuclear power unit sales to a record 400 billion yen ($2.54 billion) next business year, surpassing previous forecasts. MHI plans to increase its reactor-making workforce by 10% as orders rise. Japan has restarted 15 of its 33 operable reactors to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels. MHI is also developing a next-generation reactor aimed at enhancing safety. The company has sustained its nuclear business through various projects since the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
