JAEA has started the development of a multi-level plant simulation system as a powerful tool for the design studies of sodium-cooled fast reactors. This system enables from highly-efficient to highly-accurate analyses of various operating statuses including normal operation, abnormal transient and accidents by employing multi-level models, and is able to respond flexibly to most of the design options. The conceptual design of the new system, the coupling method of codes as a key of the system development, and the development plan are reported in this presentation.
