Historical role of the Tokai reprocessing plant in the establishment of safeguards technologies

Yamamura, Osamu; Yamamoto, Ryuichi; Nomura, Shigeo

This paper describes the role of Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) for the safeguards (SG) technology development by Japan and IAEA and its application to the first large commercial plant in Japan. Through several negotiations between Japan and USA, TRP accepted the full scope application of IAEA's SG, the development of U-Pu mixed conversion process, and the experimental work of IAEA for development of SG activities. Results under the TASTEX, which was research and development program by an agreement made during Japan and USA negotiation on reprocessing, were reflected to the INFCE, which was organized by the change in US atomic energy policy. Most of the current SG technologies being applied by IAEA were developed at this time. Both effectiveness and reliability of such technologies have been validated extensively through the 30 years operation of TRP.
