Description
The MK-III upgrading project was completed in the experimental fast reactor JOYO to increase irradiation capability for irradiation tests. The performance tests were carried out from June 2003 as the last phase of MK-III modification work. During the performance tests, the reactor power was raised step by step, while confirming the nuclear and thermal characteristics of MK-III core and the heat removal capability of the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) and the dump heat exchanger (DHX). All performance tests were successfully carried out and it was confirmed that the performance of JOYO MK-III plant satisfied the design requirement. A pre-use inspection pass certificate for JOYO MK-III was granted from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 27th November 2003 and the MK-III modification work was completed. This report shows the results of the performance tests of JOYO MK-III. (author)
