The Bridge to the Future: Fuel Cycle Simulation for Forecasting the Future of Nuclear Energy
As we are approaching the mid-21st century, the energy environment is undergoing a significant transformation towards the realization of Green Transformation (GX). In this context, the further utilization of nuclear energy is anticipated. Policy decisions, business planning, and research and development strategies related to nuclear energy increasingly rely on fuel cycle simulation that predict the future logistics of nuclear materials and other related factors. However, how should the verification of these simulations be conducted?
The establishment of reliable verification methods is urgently needed to facilitate rational and transparent discussions and decision-making processes moving forward. In response to this need, the Research Committee on "Fuel Cycle Analysis Technique for Future Nuclear Scenarios" is actively working on establishing a foundation to ensure the quality of domestic fuel cycle simulators in line with the current status of nuclear energy in Japan.
