In this paper, the terminologies and ideas of SCM was introduced into the scenario study to give a fresh perspective for considering LWR cycle to FR cycle transition strategies in Japan. Then, an analytical tool (SCM tool) which has been developed by the authors is used to survey Japanese nuclear energy system in transition with the SCM terminologies and viewpoints. As the result of the investigation on the boundary location of "Push type" and "Pull type", the consideration of "Pull-type" operation as well as "Push-type" by SCM tool can expand the scope of future transition strategy construction from LWR cycle to FR cycle.

Comprehensive dynamic analyses of the typical Fast Reactor (FR) deployment scenarios with JSFR and related fuel cycle facilities developed in "FaCT: Fast Reactor Cycle Technology Development" project were conducted. In this study, combinations of analysis codes, which consist of two energy economic models (computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and energy system model) and dynamic analysis model for nuclear energy supply chain, were used for the dynamic analyses. As a result of the analysis, FR cycle should be deployed from 2040 to 2050 to curb the cumulative uranium resources consumption within the conventional uranium resources reported in Uranium 2009 by the OECD/NEA and the IAEA.

This report presents the outline of the development and the results of characteristic evaluation on the candidate Fast Reactor (FR) cycle system concepts, scenario study on FR cycle deployment and cost-benefit analysis on the candidate FR cycle system concepts in the interim evaluation (FY2001 through FY2003) of the second phase of the Japanese "Feasibility Study on Commercialization of Fast Breeder Reactor Cycle System (FS)".

Improvement on electricity selling income by shifting the output time to higher purchase price time for a small sized sodium-cooled fast reactor coupled to a molten salt thermal energy storage system enables to output 50% of the rated reactor power for 5.5 hours, was quantitatively evaluated focusing on Tokyo and Kyusyu area market prices in 2020-2022. The increase on electric power selling incomes were obtained +59% for Tokyo area and +10
12% for Kyusyu area in the present study.

When the nuclear energy capacity of Japan is reduced, the characteristics of nuclear energy systems are assessed based on the nuclear fuel cycle schemes with the suppositions of long-term nuclear energy scenarios including after 2030. The deployment of fast reactors and recycling of spent fuels have enough merits from the viewpoints of spent fuel management and radioactive waste management according to the assessment in this study.

FBR core concepts are proposed to improve inherent proliferation resistance features for the blanket regions which can generate high Puf contents. This study presents the evaluation results for the scenarios to deploy FBRs with the improved inherent proliferation resistance core and argues the feasibility from the viewpoint of mass-balace, influence on economics, and non-proliferation features.

An analysis tool to assess the characteristics of transition period from current LWR cycle to FBR cycle has been developed with consideration of nuclear supply chain. This study surveyed the effect of difference of FRs' breeding ratios (1.1 and 1.2) in the early stages of deploymnet on the economics from the . The Preliminary analysis showed there was not large discrepancy in economics between the FR cycles with different breeding ratios.
