経済産業省資源エネルギー庁委託事業において進めてきている、事故耐性に優れた新型燃料部材を既存軽水炉に導入するための技術基盤整備の状況について説明する。また、海外での研究動向等の参考情報を交えながら、現状における研究開発上の課題を紹介するとともに将来展望について語る。

In this oral presentation, the result of "Development of Technical Basis for Introducing Advanced Fuels Contributing to Safety Improvement of Current Light Water Reactors" carried out under the Project on Development of Technical Basis for Safety Improvement at Nuclear Power Plants by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan will be partially introduced. The gap between the present R&D status and the achievement of practical use in order to progress the R&D properly and efficiently will be talked together with related information of oversea research activities.
