The Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) has been contributing to various R&D activities in the nuclear research such as the fundamental research of nuclear materials/ fuels, safety research and development of power reactors, radio isotope (RI) production since its beginning of the operation in 1968. Irradiation technologies and post irradiation examination (PIE) technologies are the important factors for irradiation test research. Now, decontamination and new research reactor construction are common issue in the world according to aging. This report outlines any irradiation and PIE technologies developed at JMTR in 40years and for technology succession and development of human resources.

On one of the sessions in HOTLAB2023 conference as "PIE technician Workshop - "Challenges associated with Sample Preparation for PIE", The discussion regarding "Moving from macro to micro scale - handling/tooling challenges" will be held. In a facility designed to handle large scale fuel such as assemblies and rods is not benefit to handle macro/micro size sample. In this session, the panelists and conference participants will be discuss about the PIE technique for micro size sample handling and treating. The discussion will be obtain how to handle it reliably, how to prepare the sample and how to prevent sample contamination.
