Conference Article: A review of fast reactor program in Japan
Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corp., Tokyo (Japan)Abstract
Development of the LMFR has progressed steadily in Japan with an aim of fast reactor commercialization by 2030. The total operation time of the fast reactor JOY0 is about 52000 hours. The start-up of the prototype reactor Monju is in progress. The design study for a demonstration fast breeder reactor (DFBR) is progressing, and construction is planned to start at the beginning of the next century. Further R&D are being conducted on LMFR fuel technology and waste management. This paper describes the progress of R&D of the LMFR.
