Accident evaluation during transfer of irradiated fuel specimen

Morita, Hisashi; Iimura, Koichi ; Matsui, Yoshinori ; Takemoto, Noriyuki 

JMTR was positioned as a decommissioning facility in the facilities mid- and long-term plan (formulated in April 1, 2017) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. On September 18, 2019, we applied for approval of the decommissioning plan for the JMTR reactor facility, and received the approval on March 17, 2021. This made it impossible to conduct irradiation tests with nuclear fuel material at the JMTR using facility. Therefore, on August 7, 2020, in order to delete the description about irradiation test and to change accident evaluation, we applied for change of permission to use nuclear fuel material regarding JMTR facility (Facility No. 1) at the Oarai Research and Development Institute (North Area), and received the permission on May 26, 2021. As the accident evaluation, radiation exposure evaluation was performed at the boundary of the surrounding monitoring area assuming a damage accident during transfer work of the irradiated fuel specimen to the hot laboratory. As a result, it was confirmed to satisfy the standards such as the dose notification concerning about external exposure due to atmospheric diffusion, internal exposure due to atmospheric diffusion, external exposure due to direct $$gamma$$-rays and skyshine $$gamma$$-rays. This report summarizes the methods and results of the accident evaluation related to permission change of JMTR using facility.
