原子炉安全性研究炉NSRR(Nuclear Safety Research Reactor)の炉内実験は実験燃料を専用の照射カプセルに封入し、炉心へ挿入して行われる。NSRRではこれまでに17種類の大気圧水カプセルを製作しており、そのうちX-IV型大気圧水カプセルは設計及び工事の方法の認可を6回取得し、平成18年6月に第7回目の設工認申請を行った。第7回目の申請に際しては設計の強度評価に用いる規格を通商産業省告示501号の廃止に伴い、日本機械学会発電用原子力設備規格、設計・建設規格(JSME S NC1-2005)に変更した。JSME S NC1-2005では、新たに「負荷荷重」の状態を示す供用状態が導入されており、今回の申請書では許容応力強さを供用状態に応じて算出した。また、JSME S NC1-2005では、クラス1支持構造物に対して、組合せ応力に関する評価を求めていることから、今回の申請書で同評価を追加し許容応力を超えないことを確認した。

In NSRR (Nuclear Safety Research Reactor) experiments, test fuels are inserted in the especial capsule and the capsule will be inserted into the experimental tube which is located in the center of reactor core. In NSRR, there are 17 types of atmospheric pressure capsule, and one of them Type X-IV atmospheric pressure capsule has been produced 6 times under authorization of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Application for the 7th time of authorization was submitted to the MEXT in June 2006. On this application, standard which is used to design was changed to The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) S NC1-2005 from the Notification 501 of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The JSME S NC1-2005 introduced the service condition in addition to the reactor condition which has been used in the Notification 501. In this application, stress limits were calculated based on the service condition. The JSME S NC1-2005 requires estimation of combined stress for Class1 support structures, which was unnecessary in the Notification 501. In this application, combined stresses were calculated and confirmed not to exceed the stress limits.
