Description

The FBR cycle is a key technology maintaining a sustainable society through efficient utilization of limited uranium resources and conformance to global environmental protection. The domestic and overseas R and D of the FBR cycle entered on a new phase aiming at its commercialization and JAEA started the Fast Reactor Cycle Technology Development (FaCT) project. The FaCT project targeted at international standardization of the FBR fuel cycle and promoting the advanced R and D on the innovative technologies to increase cost-efficiency and reliability for the commercialization under international competition and cooperation. The combination of a sodium cooled FBR and advanced fuel cycle system with advanced aqueous reprocessing and simplified pelletizing fuel fabrication was selected a major concept. (T. Tanaka)

Abstract (Japanese)

高速増殖炉(FBR)サイクルは,限りあるウラン資源を有効利用し地球環境保全にも適合し,持続的な社会を支える枢要技術である。国内外のFBRサイクル研究開発は,いよいよFBRサイクルの具体化·実用化を目指した新たなフェーズに入り,日本原子力研究開発機構ではFaCTプロジェクトを開始した。FaCTプロジェクトでは,国際標準を目指した開発目標を設定し,世界との競争·協調のもと,最先端に立ったFBRサイクルの研究開発を進めている。(日本)
