JAERI RERTR program
Description
In 1979, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) started a five year program for the utilization of reduced enrichment uranium fuel, in place of currently used highly enriched uranium fuel for the JAERI research and test reactors. The program is aimed at reducing proliferation potential. The JAERI program is outlined: (1) core design and safety analysis; (2) flow tests; (3) critical experiments; (4) irradiation tests; and (5) full-core demonstration tests. The JAERI-ANL joint study to assess the feasibility of converting the JAERI reactors to use of fuel with reduced enrichment uranium is also discussed
