Status of reduced enrichment program for research reactors in Japan
- 1. Kyoto Univ. (Japan)
- 2. Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Tokyo (Japan)
Description
The reduced enrichment programs for the JRR-2, JRR-3, JRR-4 and JMTR of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), and the KUR of KYOTO University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI) are in progress under the Joint Study Programs with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Recently, the Japanese Government decided to cancel the KUHFR Project. The JRR-2 and JMTR have already been converted to the use of MEU aluminide fuels in 1987 and 1986, respectively. The operation of the upgraded JRR-3 was started in March 1990 with the LEU aluminide fuels. The preparation was started for the application of the JMTR and KUR for safety review of core conversion to LEU silicide fuel. The safety review application for two LEU silicide elements in the KUR was accepted in May 1990 and will be approved shortly
