The main efforts in this century therefore must be concentrated to material conversion and management, which mean the realization of nuclear fuel cycle. Practically the following two steps are considered (1) an LWR fuel cycle that leads to advanced reactors such as the sodium fast reactor (SFR) and (2) an advanced nuclear energy system with related fuel cycle. The second step is more concerned with nuclear material and sensitive to nuclear arms. Therefore, the nuclear menace shall be fully concerned, and individuals as well as organizations in the nuclear community shall make up their minds to develop advanced nuclear energy system exclusively for peaceful use. Advanced nuclear energy system shall be developed for future prosperity of mankind and limited only to peaceful purposes.
