The development of liquid-metal-cooled fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs) is advancing steadily in Japan. The experimental reactor Joyo has been operated satisfactorily, and construction of the prototype reactor Monju has been completed and is waiting for the start of operations. Thus, a vast amount of knowledge and experience has been accumulated through these development efforts.
