Japan Atomic Energy Agency has proceeded on the research and development (R&D) of fast neutron rector fuel cycle with a system which has economic competitiveness in contrast with light water reactor systems as one of development objectives, from the start of its development. This report shows the evaluation results of generation cost of fast reactor fuel cycle in light of additional safety measure cost and social cost, based on the design of fast reactor and related fuel cycle facilities which considered in FaCT phase I.
