Overview of High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR)

FAPIG No. 154 pp. 4` 8 (2000)

@

@The HTTR with the thermal output of 30MW and the outlet gas temperature of 950 C developed by Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) is a first High-Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor in Japan. The aim of the HTTR is to carry out the necessary R&D for establishing and upgrading HTGR technology and to conduct various innovative basic researches on high temperature technologies.

@The application for the construction permit of the HTTR was submitted to Science and Technology Agency (STA) in February 1989 and was permitted in November 1990.The construction was started in March 1991 and completed in September 1997 as scheduled. Fuel loading and criticality test was started in the middle of 1998. First criticality was achieved in November 10,1998 and full core loading was completed in December 1998. After the non-nuclear heat up test, JAERI has started the rise to power test in September 1999.

Core Design and Safety Evaluation of HTTR

FAPIG No. 154 pp. 9`18 (2000)

@

@Fuji Electric Co. Ltd. and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. cooperated with Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) for the core design and safety evaluation of HTTR.

@The HTTR is characterized by the high outlet temperature of 950Ž. Main features of core design to attain this such as the reactivity control, the fuel loading and the core flow distribution plan are reported.

@Selecting core depressurization accident as a typical example of HTTR accident, main features of HTTR safety evaluation such as simulation programs, used data and analyzed results are reported following this accident sequences.

Design and Construction of Equipments for High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR)

FAPIG No. 154 pp. 19` 35 (2000)

@

@Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. contributed to the construction of the HTTR as a supplier of some main equipments, the reactor internals, the fuel handling and storage system and the fuel handling machine including instrumentation and control system, the radiation monitoring system etc. Fuji Electric was expected to show the technological potential accumulated through the development and conceptual design of those equipments.

Fuji Electric had been going ahead with the design, manufacturing and quality assurance activities of those equipments and completed successfully installation and testing in September 1997.

This paper describes the outline of those equipments and FujiÕs activities around the construction.

Fabrication of HTTR First Loading Fuel

FAPIG No. 154 pp. 47`51 (2000)

@

@Fabrication of the first loading fuel for HTTR (High Temperature engineering Test Reactor) constructed by JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) started at HTR fuel facility of NFI (Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd.) June 1995. 4,770 fuel rods were fabricated through the fuel kernel, coated fuel particle and fuel compaction process, then 150 fuel elements were assembled in the reactor building December 1997.

@Fabrication technology for the fuel was established through a lot of RD activities and fabrication experience of irradiation examination samples spread over about 30 years. Most of all, very high quality and production efficiency of fuel were achieved by the development of the fuel kernel process using the vibration dropping technology, the continuous 4-layer coating process and the automatic compaction process. The quality of the first loading fuel fully satisfied the design specifications for the fuel. In particular, average free uranium fraction and SiC defective fraction of fuel compacts were ‚Q~10|6 and ‚W~10|5 respectively.
