Description

The Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI) has designed and plans to construct the 30 MW Kyoto University High Flux Reactor (KUHFR). KURRI is engaged in a joint study program with the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) on the core conversion of the KUHFR from highly enriched uranium to moderately enriched uranium fuel. The Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) is a facility for measuring core characteristics for the planned KUHFR. The KUCA experimental program and the conversion study are outlined
