This paper discusses the objectives and results of a multiyear R&D project to improve the modeling accuracy for the detailed calculation of the Japanese Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR), although the preliminary design of JSFR is prepared using conventional methods. For detailed design calculations, new methods are required because the JSFR has special features, which cannot be accurately modeled with existing codes. An example is the presence of an inner duct in the fuel assemblies. Therefore, we have developed new calculational and experimental methods in three areas: (1) for neutronics, we discuss the development of methods and codes to model advanced FBR fuel subassemblies, (2) for fuel materials, modeling and measurement of the thermal conductivity of annular fuel is discussed, and (3) for thermal hydraulics, we describe advances in modeling and calculational models for the intermediate heat exchanger and the calculational treatment of thermal stratification in the hot plenum of an FBR under low flow conditions. The new methods are discussed and the verification tests are described. In the validation test, measured data from the prototype FBR Monju is partly used
