Description

The Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) has also carried out conceptual investigation on deep sea fast reactors (DSFRs) mainly used at deep sea by considering on independent demand in Japan, one of oceanic nations in addition to reactors for space use as the (super) small reactors. On DSFRs, JNC carried out a summary on past investigations on JNC TN4420 2001-001, the 'DSFRs required for oceanic studies' on June, 2001 Then, in this report, was intended to carry out similar summary on space reactors (SRs). Its concrete contents were determined for their worldwide trends and SRs for lunar surface installed reactors. On the other hand, on DSFRs, under response to extreme development in oceanic studies after last summary, some theme to newly be examined at their standpoints, to determine to describe here as a form of its additional report. Its concrete contents contain newly developed no-man sea bottom station installed by autonomous underwater vehicles with automatically charging function in the sea, and so on. (G.K.)
