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.

ACROSS (Accurately Controlled Routinely Operated Signal System) has developed to acquire the detailed information on the tectonically active zone. The technology for example the transmission and receiving technique, the data analysis and the interpretation technique of the ACROSS signal, is able to apply not only to seismology but also to other field. We considered the ACROSS technology may apply to the engineering technology of the MIU project, for example monitoring of the change of the geological environment around shafts and also the strength of the shaft concrete itself. It is planned that the examination for three years will be made from fiscal year 2007. The first year is expansion of the network of observation stations, the second year is data acquisition and last year is the analysis of data and evaluation of the ACROSS. In this report, we describe the results of fundamental studies of the ACROSS and the preliminary processing results obtained from the ACROSS observation stations which were prepared in fiscal year 2007 and 2008.

JAEA asked the advisory committee "Evaluation Committee of Research and Development Activities for Advanced Nuclear System / Nuclear Fuel Cycle Technology" (the Committee) to assess "R&Ds program on Monju Reactor and its related R&Ds" in JFY2009, in accordance with "General Guideline for the Evaluation of Government R&D Activities" by Japanese Cabinet Office, "Guideline for Evaluation of R&D in MEXT" and "Regulation on Conduct for Evaluation of R&D Activities" by JAEA. JAEA has made "R&Ds program on Monju Reactor and its related R&Ds" and established its management organization. In response to that, the Committee assessed the program and the organization in terms of technical and management standpoints. The Committee has suggested significant factors to accomplish the JAEA R&D plan. The R&Ds on Monju reactor are essential for the Fact project and future demonstration/commercialized relaters. The committee hopes higher results are achieved by adopting the suggestions.
