KUR core conversion to use LEU silicide fuel
- 1. Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University, Osaka (Japan)
Description
The Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR, 5MW) has been operated since 1964 using highly enriched uranium fuel. At the end of Fiscal 1993, the fuel core of KUR will be converted to use LEU silicide fuel. Prior to it, two fuel elements are to be inserted to the core for demonstration in May 1992. These elements were fabricated by CERCA, France, and were already inspected in October 1991. They will be delivered to KURRI shortly. In order to obtain harder neutron spectrum for variety of experiments, the feasibility study on a core with low moderator to fuel ratio is now going on. The safety review application for the full core conversion will start in near future. (author)
