Department of JMTR

During the FY2005 (from April 2005 to March 2006), the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) was operated in five operation cycles in order to carry out various irradiation tests and post-irradiation examinations (PIEs) for studies on Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC) of internal structures of light water reactor, development of the fusion blanket, basic materials researches, radioisotope production, and so on. Operating days of FY2005 was shorter than scheduled because of the commercial power failure in the 160th operation cycle and extension of the annual inspection term caused by incompleteness of inspecting condition.
