Experiences and development status on fuel reprocessing and waste management in Japan

Creators

  • 1. Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation

Description

The development plan of the nuclear fuel cycle is being revised caused by revision of the long-term energy supply and demand outlook in Japan. About 174 tons of LWR spent fuel has been processed at the Tokai Reprocessing Plant. Though leakage in two dissolvers in the plant was experienced during 1982-83, these were remotely repaired, and a newly fabricated third dissolver is under installation. A commercial LWR fuel reprocessing plant is in preparation. FBR fuel reprocessing technology development is progressing for the construction of an FBR Recycling Pilot Plant. The waste management program in Japan is based on the policy given by the Japanese Atomic Energy Committee in 1976. A vitrificathOn pilot plant for high level liquid waste will be in construction in a few years. Feasibility studies including RandD activities on geologic disposal/repository are under way
