For the realization of safe and economical fast reactor (FR) plants, the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) and Japan Atomic Power Company (JAPC) are cooperating on a research project titled "Feasibility Study on Commercialized FR Cycle Systems. To certify the design concepts and validate their structural integrity,the research and development of the "Fast Reactor Structural Design Standard (FDS)" is recognized as begin an essential theme.
