  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokyo (Japan)
  • 2. Kyoto Univ., Kumatori, Osaka (Japan). Research Reactor Inst.

Description

The reduced enrichment program for the JRR-2, JRR-3, JRR-4 and JMTR of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), and the KUR and KUHFR of Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI) is in progress under the Joint Study Program with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The post irradiation examinations on the MEU/LEU aluminide full-sized experimental fuel elements are completed or in progress in JAERI. The full core demonstration using MEU aluminide fuel was achieved in the JMTR in 1986, and will be performed in the JRR-2 in November 1987. The feasibility study for use of LEU as silicide fuel in the JMTR and KUR is in progress. (Author)
