[en] The activities of the INR concentrate on problems in nuclear technology, especially on problems encountered in the development of sodium-cooled fast reactors. Most of the work is carried out under the roof of projects in cooperation with other institutes or industrial research groups. The studies performed within the fast-breeder project (PSB) relate to reactor physics, design data and safety problems of fast reactors. The environmental impacts of nuclear reactors in case of accidents are investigated by the Institute within the framework of the nuclear safety project (PNS), whereas the problems to be studied for the reprocessing project (PWA) relate to the activity inventary and to instrument development. Another main field of interest is nuclear safeguards, the Institute being concerned with the isotope correlation technique and its application. For the fusion reactor technology project, the research work carried out by the Institute deals with fusion techniques using inertial confinement. (orig./HP)

[en] Following the previous JAERI-M 6732(1976) and JAERI-M 7261(1977), the 1978 edition as of the December is presented, which contains the data of design parameters, performance, components and equipments in nuclear power plants of Japan. Data are given in tables by computer processing. (author)

[en] The December 1975 edition (JAERI-M 5959) contained design particulars and safety features of 20 commercial nuclear power plants in Japan as of December 1974. Subsequently new plants have been put into operation and some plants under construction have undergone design modifications. The present edition presents similar data of the commercial nuclear power plants in Japan up to June 1976, compiled by computer processing. (auth.)

[en] From 1976 to 1978 a series of computer performance evaluations and cost/benefit analysis were made at the JAERI Computing Center. In this report are described the procedures and results of analysis of the timesharing system and batch processing system for FACOM 230-75 computers in JAERI. The timesharing system is analyzed with BTM model of J. E. Shemer and D. W. Heying and UT-2D model of R. M. Brown et al., and the batch processing system is analyzed with a cyclic queue model. Following the evaluations many modifications and improvements for the computer systems were made, raising significantly performance of systems. (author)

[en] After some basic remarks on energy supply as an economic and political challenge the German energy policy of the individual sectors is explained and corroborated by corresponding data. The appendix gives a new pre-assessment of the energy supply of the F.R. of Germany until the year 1995. Some additional graphs and tables contribute to a clear survey of this development. The programme contains a new confession on the promotion of nuclear energy and on the continuation of the recent energy policy in the fields of natural gas, coal and petroleum as well as some suggestions on the demand-oriented development of district heat and of renewable energies.
