Description
In order to obtain fuel performance and integrity data important for the safety evaluation of high burnup UO2 and mixed oxide (MOX) fuel rods for light water reactors (LWRs), new series of irradiation tests utilizing the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR), Nuclear Safety Research Reactor (NSRR) and hot laboratories are being proposed. Upgraded JMTR loops for the fuel bundle irradiation under well controlled environment simulating the LWR water condition and single rod capsules for power and flow transients will be prepared in the program. Combination of the JMTR test with simulated reactivity initiated accident (RIA) tests in the HSRR and loss of coolant accident (LOCA) tests in hot laboratories would serve as the integrated fuel safety research on the advanced UO2 and MOX fuels at burnups exceeding current license limits, covering from the normal to accident conditions.
