This paper describes the latest status on the development of elevated temperature materials and structural codes for Japanese sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). Based on the extensive research and development activities in the last decades in Japan, two materials, 316FR and Modified 9Cr-1Mo steels were recently incorporated into the 2012 Edition of Fast Reactor Design and Construction Code of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Structural design methodologies are continuously being improved towards the next major revision planed in 2016 Edition where methodologies for a 60-year design of Japanese demonstration fast reactor will be provided. Codes and guidelines for fitness-for-service, leak-before-break evaluation and reliability assessment are concurrently being developed utilizing the System Based Code concept aiming at establishing an integrated code system that encompasses a life cycle of SFRs.

For problems, such as evaluation model selection is not appropriate and accuracy of the assessed value is low, exist in the reliability assessment of mechanical and electrical product, we propose a comprehensive reliability assessment process for mechanical and electrical products. In this paper, we discuss methods of reliability data collection and collation first. Then, criteria of preliminary screening for failure data are established. Furthermore, considering that life cycle of product is characterized by varied environment and varied population, it gives the method and steps for reliability assessment of produces. In addition, the process is used in the reliability assessment of products, and the calculation result illustrates that the process can be successfully applied to engineering practice. The process proposed in this paper provides a technical means for model selection in reliability assessment of mechanical and electrical product, and serves as the theoretical guidance for reliability validation and reliability design of product.
