It is, none the less, necessary for interested parties and specialists to make furthermore efforts hereafter so that nuclear power development shall be deployed steadily in its true sense. One of the most important aspects in the near future is the establishment of nuclear fuel cycle including reprocessing and waste management. As is cited in the "Long-Term Program for Development and Utilization of Nuclear Energy" revised last June by AEC (Atomic Energy Commission of Japan), promotion of research and development aimed at establishing the nuclear fuel cycle is deemed to be vital to attain the main goal.
