Sector of Fast Reactor and Advanced Reactor Research and Development

日本原子力研究開発機構は、外部有識者からなる高温ガス炉及び水素製造研究開発・評価委員会に、2017年4月から2020年3月までの高温ガス炉とこれによる熱利用技術の研究開発に係る第3期中長期計画の中間評価を諮問し、評価を受けた。その結果、3名の委員がS評価及び7名の委員がA評価と評価し、総合評価としてA評価を受けた。また、HTTR-熱利用試験施設の建設段階へ進むに当たっての判断は、HTTRが運転再開を果たし、熱負荷変動試験等の結果を評価してからの判断が適切であり、判断時期を2年程度延期することが妥当であるとされた。本報告書は高温ガス炉及び水素製造研究開発・評価委員会の構成, 審議経過, 評価項目について記載し、同委員により提出された「高温ガス炉及び水素製造研究開発課題評価報告書」を添付したものである。

Japan Atomic Energy Agency consulted with the "Evaluation Committee of Research Activities for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (hereinafter referred to as "HTGR") and Related Hydrogen Production Technology" (hereinafter referred to as "Evaluation Committee"), which consists of specialists in the fields of the evaluation subjects of high temperature gas-cooled reactor and related heat application technology, for interim assessment in the 3rd Mid-and Long-Term Plan about the relevance of the management and research activities of the HTGR and related application technology during the period from April 2017 to March 2020. As a result, three members of the Evaluation Committee concluded a score of "S", and seven members of the Evaluation Committee concluded a score of "A". The interim assessment to research and development activities from April 2017 to March 2020 was concluded a score of "A". In addition, the Evaluation Committee recommended that the judgement to move to the construction phase of the HTTR-heat utilization test plant be made after 2 years, after the HTTR will be restarted and the thermal load fluctuation tests using HTTR will be carried out. This report lists the members of the Evaluation Committee and outlines the assessment item and the review process for procedure of the assessment. The assessment report which was issued by the Evaluation Committee is attached.
