JMTRシリサイド燃料(密度4.8g/cc)を模擬した小型板状燃料を用い、原子炉起動時における制御棒の異常な引き抜きを模擬した炉内実験を実施した。JMTR安全審査評価値(EURECA計算コードで実施)では燃料表面ピーク温度は最大で110$$^{circ}$$Cになると想定しているが、実験ではそれを上回る137$$^{circ}$$Cを燃料板に課した。実験後に実施された照射後試験の結果によれば、燃料板は非破損であった。この実験的事実から、JMTR燃料は原子炉起動時の制御棒引き抜きに対して安全余裕を持っていることが判明した。

By using a mini-plate fuel (density 4.8g per cc) as a simulation of JMTR silicide fuel plate, in-core irradiation test postulating an abnormal withdrawal of control rod during reactor start-up was performed. Because a peak cladding surface temperature predicted by EURECA computer code for JMTR safety calculation is 110$$^{circ}$$C in maximum, more severe condition is imposed on in-core tested mini-plate fuel, where a peak cladding surface temperature is as high as 137$$^{circ}$$C. It is revealed from post-irradiation examination that the tested mini-plate fuel was intact. From this experimental fact, it is found that JMTR silicide fuel plate has a safety margin against an abnormal withdrawal of control rod during reactor start-up.
