Creative Engineering Research Program on Nuclear Fuel Cycle (former In-house Innovative Research Encouraging Program) was implemented from FY 2001 to FY 2007 in order to support the execution of such in-house researches that create innovative new concepts and aim technical break-through. Totally thirty seven applications have been received and fourteen research themes have been accepted and been performed in this program. As for the research achievements of the fourteen research themes, first author papers accepted by scientific journals and by science councils were forty seven and thirty two, respectively, and oral presentations at scientific societies were ninety nine. Furthermore, interpretive articles for scientific journals, requested lectures, patents, and prize winnings were thirteen, thirty, eight, and three, respectively. Consequently, it can be evaluated that the research achievements resulted from this program are generally in high level and that the expectations, at the starting point of this program, to activate the innovative research activities have been accomplished. In this report, the final reports of the fourteen research themes together with the outline of this program are included.
