Nio, Daisuke; Ota, Kazunori ; Ishizaki, Katsuhiko

The research reactor JRR-3 was constructed for the purpose of development of nuclear technology and a large scale modification was done. It is necessary to investigate a maintenance methods considering high aging, because more than 15 years has passed from a large modification. In such situation, we should continue condition monitoring method which does not spoil safety and reliability and apply other instruments. So far, monitoring of vibration and lubricating oil has been done, and we might think it appropriate. From now on, we continue investigating that condition monitoring could be applied for other instruments.
