Description
The experimental fast reactor JOYO achieved initial criticality in April 1977. It is the first liquid metal cooled fast reactor in Japan. JOYO achieved the maximum design output of 100 MWt in 1983 and has been operated as a fuels and materials irradiation test facility for more than 7 years. Experience gained recently on core management is described in this paper, including a core modification for high burn-up. (author)
