2011年の東京電力福島第一原子力発電所(1F)事故で損傷を受けた原子炉の廃止措置において、燃料デブリの取出しは、最も重要かつ困難な作業の一つである。原子力機構(JAEA)は、1F事故で発生した燃料デブリの臨界特性の解析結果を検証するために、臨界集合体STACYを溶液体系から軽水減速非均質体系に更新した。STACY更新炉の初臨界は2024年4月に達成された後、一連の性能検査を経て、2024年8月に燃料デブリの臨界特性の評価に係る臨界実験が開始された。本報告では、STACYの主要機器とデブリ模擬炉心を構成するための実験装置について述べる。

The removal of fuel debris is one of the most important and challenging tasks in the decommissioning of power reactors damaged in the 2011 accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F). The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has implemented a renewal program of the Static Experiment Critical Facility (STACY), transitioning it from a homogeneous solution system to a heterogeneous water-moderated system, in order to verify the criticality calculations that consider the fuel debris from the 1F accident. The first criticality of the modified STACY was achieved in April 2024. After a series of performance inspections, an experimental campaign for the investigation of fuel debris characteristics was started in August 2024. In this paper, we describe the main equipment of the modified STACY. In addition, the experimental equipment for the debris-simulated core configuration is also introduced.
