Accurate fast neutron capture reaction data of minor actinides (MA) are required for development of nuclear transmutation systems. In order to improve the neutron capture reaction data of MAs in the fast energy region, a joint collaborative project between Tokyo Tech, JAEA and Kyoto University started in 2017. The overview of the project, the background, goal and plan, will be given in the presentation.
