The Fast Reactor Cycle Technology Development (FaCT) project was launched in 2006 and has since been vigorously promoted. The first milestone of this project aims to decide whether to adopt the innovative technologies in 2010. As part of the mid-term review for this milestone, a technical session was held at Shinsei Bank Hall in Tokyo on August 7, 2009, and more than 200 people attended the session, including delegates from governments, universities, research organizations, electric utilities and atomic industries. In this session, JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency) and MFBR (Mitsubishi FBR systems, Inc.) reported 2006-2008 R&D results of the FaCT project and obtained quite a lot of comments and opinions from the participants. These have now been successfully reflected in the R&D activities. This report hereinafter provides a summary of the session and the presentation materials.

JAEA and JAPC launched Fast Reactor cycle Technology Development Project (FaCT) in 2006. "The JAEA sodium-cooled loop-type fast reactor (JSFR) with MOX fuel, the advanced aqueous reprocessing, and the simplified pelletizing fuel fabrication systems" have been studied as a main concept in the FaCT project. JAEA targets 2015 in which the design concept that fulfills the development target and the design requirement is to be proposed. R&D system and R&D progress management have been improved and firmly established. Based on the indication of Japan Atomic Energy Commission and in cooperation with related organizations, R&Ds and design studies have been executed to evaluate innovative technologies. Direction in the adoption of the innovative technologies is to be determined in 2010. To attain this step, this report describes progress and results, and specifies issues and countermeasures upto 2008. This report also indicates future study procedure of the FaCT project.

A joint project team of Japan Atomic Energy Agency and the Japan Atomic Power Company (as the representative of the electric utilities) started the feasibility study on commercialized fast reactor cycle systems (F/S) in July 1999 in cooperation with Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry and vendors. On the major premise of safety assurance, F/S aims to present an appropriate picture of commercialization of fast reactor (FR) cycle system which has economic competitiveness with light water reactor cycle systems and other electricity base load systems, and to establish FR cycle technologies for the future major energy supply. In the period from Japanese fiscal year (JFY) 1999 to 2000, the phase-I of F/S was carried out to screen out representative FR, reprocessing and fuel fabrication technologies. In the phase-II (JFY 2001-2005), the design study of FR cycle concepts, the development of significant technologies necessary for the feasibility evaluation, and the confirmation of key technical issues were performed to clarify the promising candidate concepts toward the commercialization. In this final phase-II report clarified the most promising concept, the R&D plan until around 2015, and the key issues for the commercialization. Based on the comprehensive evaluation in F/S, the combination of the sodium-cooled FR with MOX fuel core, the advanced-aqueous reprocessing process and the simplified-pelletizing fuel fabrication process was recommended as the mainline choice for the most promising concept. The concept exceeds in technical advancement, and the conformity to the development targets was higher compared with that of the others. Alternative technologies are prepared to decrease the development risk of innovative technologies in the mainline choice.
