Description
Prototype fast breeder reactor 'Monju' attained the first critical on April 5th in 1994. The sodium leak accident in a secondary main cooling system was occurred during power rise examination on December 8th in 1995, and the 'Monju' has stopped after that. Various efforts such as reconstruction of the secondary cooling system and following verifications on integrity of components and facilities are continued towards the early restart up of the 'Monju' at present.
