Handbook of Generation IV Nuclear Reactors, First Edition, p.283 - 307, 2016/00
Handbook of Generation IV Nuclear Reactors is comprehensive resource on the research and advances in generation IV nuclear reactor concepts and the first edition is issued in 2016. The authors wrote the chapter 11: Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts: Japan, where developments activities on sodium cooled fast reactor in Japan are shown. Especially, concept of Japan sodium-cooled fast reactor (JSFR) is explained on the points of innovative technologies and safety enhancements after the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.

Overview of R&D on nuclear fuels conducted in Japan are reviewed. Fuel safety research at Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) as the technical support organization for the nuclear regulation consists of those covering normal operation to the beyond design-basis accident. A fundamental study on fission product (FP) chemistry is also being conducted in JAEA towards the improved source term both for the LWR safety enhancement and 1F decommissioning issues. An innovative nitride fuel is being investigated, considering the wider application as a high-performance fuel. Study in Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry on the fuel degradation and relocation is mentioned. Various fundamental studies in Japanese universities on fuel, cladding and debris/FPs have been conducted.
