Conceptual design of the high-performance and low-cost next generation materials testing reactor which will be assumed to introduce to the nuclear power plant introduction country started from 2010 in the JAEA. Japanese atomic energy-related companies participate in this project, and this activity role as the environmental management and nuclear human resource development for the new research reactor designs. 10 MW thermal power by plate type fuel elements and swimming pool type was assumed as a design base. High safety, high cost performance, high reactor operation rate, high technology irradiation are targets of this conceptual design.
