Since then, JAEA has conducted operations focusing on four major projects in the 1st and the 2nd medium periods based on the nuclear energy, science and technology policies of Japan: R&D on FBR cycle technology and R&D on high-level radioactive waste disposal, which aim at the establishment of the nuclear fuel cycle essential to secure medium to long-term energy in Japan, R&D on nuclear fusion, which aims at future energy source development in international collaboration research, and R&D on quantum beam application, which is expected to develop new fields of science and technology and support industry etc., through various applications of radiation. In addition, after the accidents at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Stations of Tokyo Electric Power Company on March 11, 2011 (hereinafter, the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station ), we have considered the recovery and reconstruction from the accident and have actively worked on them, making the most of our scientific and technical expertise. On the other hand, in the 2nd medium target period, the defect of maintenance and management of the Fast Breeder Reactor MONJU (hereinafter, MONJU ) and the radioactive material leak at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) led to a fundamental revision of the organization and operations of JAEA.
