The Advanced Volume Reduction Facilities (AVRF) is constructed to manufacture the waste packages of radioactive waste for disposal in the Nuclear Science Research Institute of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The AVRF is constituted from two facilities. The one is the Waste Size Reduction and Storage Facility (WSRSF) which is for reducing waste size, sorting into each material and storing the waste package. The other is the Waste Volume Reduction Facility (WVRF) which is for manufacturing the waste package by volume reducing treatment and stabilizing treatment. WVRF has an induction melting furnace, a plasma melting furnace, an incinerator, and a super compactor for treatment. In this report, we summarized about the basic concept of constructing AVRF, the constitution of facilities, the specifications of machineries and the state of trial operation until March of 2006.

Japan Research Reactor No.2(JRR-2), heavy water moderated and cooled tank type research reactor with maximum thermal power of 10MW,was operated for over 36 years, and was permanently shut down in December, 1996. In 1997, decommissioning plan was submitted to the STA, and dismantling was begun. Decommissioning program of JRR-2 is divided into 4 phases. Phase 1, 2 had already been completely finished without any trouble. Furthermore, the phase 3 was also finished in February, 2004 as planned. On exposure of worker in phase 1, 2 and 3, it was achieved to control lower than the estimate. On exposure of worker in phase 1, 2 and 3, it was achieved to control lower than the estimate. Reactor will be removed in phase 4 by one piece removal technique. The reactor building is planned to use effectively as a hot experimental facilities after decommissioning. The decommissioning plan was changed that the reactor would be kept in safety storage.

The decommissioning plan of the Japan Research reactor No2(JRR-2), decommissioning activities until the first half of phase-3, radioactive wastes and exposure dose of workers are described in this report. Since the first criticality in October 1960, JRR-2 had been operated about 36 years for various experiments. However, JRR-2 was permanent shutdown in December 1996 based on JAERI's long term plan, and the decommissioning of the JRR-2 was started in August 1997. Decommissioning of the JRR-2 was planed for 11 years from 1997 to 2007 and the program was divided into 4 phases. The decommissioning activities of the phase-1, phase-2 and the first half of phase-3 had already completed as planned in March 1998, February 2000, March 2002, respectively. The decommissioning activities of the later half of Phase-3 (dismantling of the reactor cooling systems) are carrying out at present time with planed 2002 and 2003 fiscal years.
