Abstract
Fast Breeder Reactors drastically improve uranium resource utilization efficiency to realize thousands of years of nuclear energy usage, by means of building up a nuclear fuel recycling system (FBR cycle). FBRs can also transmute extracted minor actinides.Recently, new worldwide concerns are focused on counter measures against long-term energy security and global environmental problems due to developments of the emerging countries, leading to new attentions on the FBR cycle. This paper provides the status of sodium-cooled fast reactor technology development and its future prospects.
