Present status of research and test reactors of JAERI
Since 1957, several research and test reactors have been sequentially constructed in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), and they have been extensively utilized for various studies. At present, five reactors, the Japan Research Reactor No. 2 (JRR-2), the upgraded Japan Research Reactor No. 3 (JRR-3M), the Japan Research Reactor No. 4 (JRR-4), the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) and the Nuclear Safety Research Reactor (NSRR) are in operation, and a new High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) is under construction. This paper introduces the research and test reactors of JAERI, and describes the present operational status of them. The recent tendency of utilization of research reactors are also reported.
