Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has agreed to the research cooperation on the core safety of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) with the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC-RK), and it has been going on for 25 years. This research cooperation is called the EAGLE project, which is an advanced and challenging research program utilizing the facilities of NNC-RK. The background and outline of this EAGLE program, as well as the implementation status and major achievements so far, are introduced here.
