Overview of refurbishment project of JMTR

Abstract

The refurbishment project of the JMTR from the beginning of JFY 2007 was promoted with two subjects; the one is the replacement of reactor components, and the other is the construction of new irradiation facilities. On the replacement of reactor components, an investigation on aged components (aged-investigation) was carried out, for concrete structures, tanks, tubes in order to identify their integrity. After the investigation, some components were decided to replace from viewpoints of future maintenance and improvement of reliability. On the construction of new irradiation facilities, corresponding to the user's irradiation request, new irradiation facilities, such as irradiation test facilities and equipments for LWRs materials/fuels, were installed in the JMTR. Furthermore, in June 2010, 'birth of the nuclear techno-park with the JMTR' was selected by Japanese Government. The new project is to install new irradiation facilities, such as irradiation facility and equipments for Mo-99 production and PIE equipments to JMTR until JFY2012. The New JMTR will be utilized fully by wide fields of users. Moreover, the JMTR will also contribute the promotion on research and development of the nuclear energy from basic to applied fields as an internationally utilized facility under the international/Asian network collaborations.
