In the third year of feasibility studies on commercialized FBR cycle system phase II, design consideration of fuel fabrication equipments at lower processes than the fuel element fabrication and line composition examination, regarding low decontamination pellet fuel fabrication facilities, were conducted. Incidental facilities such as flushing and decontamination facilities of solid waste were also studied. A concept of fuel fabrication plant in 200t-HM/y scale was shown as well as system properties data acquisition concerning economics and environmental burden reduction of fuel fabrication plant.
