実用化戦略調査研究の中で、開発目標とした安全性、環境負荷低減性、経済性、資源有効利用性、核拡散抵抗性の各点を十全に満たすナトリウム冷却高速増殖炉の概念を構築した。同炉概念は適切な燃料サイクルと相俟って、GenⅣ等の次世代核燃料サイクルの有望な候補である。

An innovative concept of sodium-cooled fast reactor, named JNC Sodium Cooled FR (JSFR) has been created through the Feasibility Study on Commercialized FR Cycle System, aiming at full satisfaction of the development targets. It is evaluated that JSFR possesses the highest potential in terms of technological feasibility to respond the diverse needs of society. JSFR supported by an appropriate fuel cycle is recognized as a promising candidate for the next generation nuclear energy system, such as GenerationIV system.
