Research & Development of MOX Fuel Cycle Technologies
JAEA is carrying out‘Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor Cycle Systems’. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories in its part is responsible for R&D on the fuel cycle technologies (reprocessing & fuel fabrication) taking into account economic competitiveness and reduction in the environmental burden.
Development of the advanced technology in aqueous process such as solvent extraction or centrifugal separation, and also in non-aqueous process as molten-salt process has been developing towards the practical use in commercial system.
Fuel fabrication tests also under way by using advanced packaging process.
