You have to take into account energy used for research, building the

left if any for a single reactor. The interest of fast breeder reactor
is really for producing military grade plutonium. Energy is at best a
by-product.

over 98,179,200,000 KWH is a heck of a lot of energy.
You don't need fast breeders to make plutonium (can be done with a
magnox light water reactor) and I doubt japan's program is weapons
based.
