Abstract
The FBR being developed in Japan is expected to operate commercially by the year 2030 or so. The construction of the first demonstration FBR “DFBR-1”, which follows the experimental FBR “JOYO” and the prototype FBR “MONJU” is scheduled for early 2000s. The Atomic Energy Commission adopted these policies in the new version of “The Long Term Program for Research, Development and Utilization of Nuclear Energy”. The Japan Atomic Power Company has progressed design studies of the DFBR-1 and R&Ds. Electric utilities settled the major design specifications of the DFBR-1 such as the top entry loop type as the reactor type and about 660 MWe of plant capacity. To achieve the goals for the commercialization of FBRs, such as a high level of safety and reliability comparable with a LWR and further improvement of economy, many innovative technologies and system improvements will be required in commercial FBRs. This paper describes the present status of development of the DFBR-1.
