The Japanese research project of the "Research and Development of Super Fast Reactor" was conducted from December 2005 to March 2010, entrusted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT). Aiming at a highly economical fast reactor, the plant concept was developed with quantitative characteristics. The databases of the thermal hydraulics and materials including water chemistry were accumulated by experiments. Based on the success of the project, the second phase of Super FR project was initiated in July 2010. The project consists of three subjects; (1) development of the plant concept: (2) thermal-hydraulics: (3) material-coolant interactions: The Super Fast Reactor has the same plant system of the once-through coolant cycle as the Super Light Water Reactor, the thermal reactor. The results of experimental R&D constitute the common database for the development of Super LWR and Super FR. This paper describes the principle of the reactor concept development and the R&D program of the second phase project.
