Thermal-hydraulics analyses of the reactor upper plenum of Monju, Japanese prototype of FBR, were performed in IAEA/Monju-CRP from 2008 to 2012. However, detail temperature and flow rate conditions of the inlets were required for an accurate analysis. In this paper we re-evaluated the inlet boundary condition (subassembly outlets) and performed another thermal-hydraulics analysis with Star-CCM+. The surface of the structures in the upper plenum was precisely modeled. The structures included a fuel transfer machine, in-vessel racks, flow-guide tubes, etc. The result was following: the structure didn't have large influence to the temperature distribution, and the analysis result of the temperature distribution on the thermocouple plug had some difference from the test result.
