Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has been selected as the core company in charge of the conceptual design of a demonstration fast reactor which the government aims to put into operation in the 2040s. MHI will oversee both the conceptual design as well as research and development for a sodium-cooled fast reactor in partnership with Mitsubishi FBR Systems (MFBR), an MHI Group engineering company established in 2007 to handle the development and design of fast reactors. The design work for the new reactor is scheduled to begin in fiscal 2024.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency has announced that defueling has been completed at the Monju prototype spodium-cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR) in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. The work started on 16 August, and a total of 530 fuel assemblies have now been transferred to a storage pool. These include 160 fuel assemblies being held within a sodium-filled storage tank when decommissioning of the reactor began in 2018. The other 370 assemblies remained in the sodium-filled core. These were first moved into the sodium-filled tank before being moved to the storage pond.

Fuel removal was planned to be completed by the end of 2022 and has ended on schedule, JAEA said.
When decommissioning of the plant began in 2018, 160 fuel assemblies were being stored within a sodium-filled storage tank, while 370 fuel assemblies remained within Monju's sodium-filled core.
JAEA began by removing the assemblies from the sodium-filled tank into the water-filled pond, then transferring assemblies from the core into the sodium-filled tank prior to being moved to the storage pond.
