Description

Concerning the performance of the fuel in light water reactors, its integrity is closely related with reactor safety and power generation economy. With the operating experiences of over ten years, the reliability of the fuels in PWRs and BWRs is now high. The following matters are described: fuel safety and technological standard; integrity of fuel in normal power plant operation; performance of fuel at the time of accident (reactivity and loss-of-coolant); and research subjects for the future.

Abstract (Japanese)

軽水炉燃料の炉内でのふるまいに関しては、とくにその健全性の確認が原子炉の安全性および経済性に密接な関係があり注目されている。軽水炉は商業運転以来すでに10数年の経験の積み重ねをもっており、燃料の炉内使用での信頼性も目立って向上してきた。本稿は軽水炉燃料の技術基準、通常運転時および事故時での燃料挙動および今後の研究課題について、おのおの專門家に執筆をお願いして最近の情勢についてまとめたものである。 (著者)
