In fuel irradiation transient tests using a boiling water capsule, a dilution tube has been installed in the boiling water capsule in order to detect fission products (FP) from an irradiated fuel, in case of the fuel failure during the transient, by a radiation monitor located outside the reactor. When the fuel failure occurs, the released FP flows out from the capsule through the dilution tube. The dilution tube is designed to minimize the released FP that can be detected by the radiation monitor located outside the reactor. This report summarized the measurement results of the dilution tube installed in the boiling water capsule.

The Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR), achieving first criticality in March 1968, has been used in testing the durability and integrity of reactor fuels and components, basic nuclear research, the production of radioisotopes, and other purposes. The JMTR, however, stopped in August 2006 after its 165th operation cycle, and is currently under going partial renewal of reactor facilities and installation of new irradiation facilities, geared toward being restarted in 2012. Now, the installation of two new irradiation facilities under the LWR irradiation environment were finished until 2011FY. One is a power ramping test facility of high-burnup fuel. Another one is a material irradiation facility for IASCC research under the LWR irradiation environment. And another irradiation facility (Hydraulic rabbit irradiation facility) maintenance is carried out on 2011FY. This report is described the installed new irradiation facilities and established irradiation facility until 2011FY in JMTR.

At JAEA Oarai Research and Developnment Establishment (JAEA Oarai), JAEA Oarai was proceeding a plan to repair JMTR, which is to re-operate in fiscal 2012. Additionally, as an effective utilizati of JMTR, JAEA Oarai is planning to manufacture Mo, which is a parent nuclide of Tc. 
Tc is most commonly used as a radiopharmaceution in the field of nuclear medicine. Currently Mo supply is dependent only on foreign imports, so JAEA is aiming for working on partially manufacturing Mo domestically with industrial circles in Japan. In this article, this report described the choice and fabric of irradiathion facility named Hydraulic Rabbit Facility for manufacturing Mo, the technical study of fabrication technique.

Type 316 stainless steels (SSs) were used for tube material of the Oarai water loop No.2 (OWL-2) in the reactor. But data of highly irradiated Type 316 SSs has been insufficient since OWL-2 was installed. Therefore surveillance tests of type 316 SSs which were irradiated up to 3.4 
10
n/m
in fast neutron fluence (
1 MeV) were performed. But type 316 SSs were widely used in JMTR, then additional data of type 316 SSs irradiated higher was required. Therefore PIEs of type 316 SSs surveillance specimens which were irradiated up to 1.0 10
n/m in fast neutron fluence were performed and reported in this paper. Tendency of results has good agreement with results of 10
-10 n/m in fast neutron fluence. More than 37 % in total elongation was confirmed in all test conditions. It is confirmed that type 316 SS irradiated up to 1.0 10 n/m in fast neutron fluence has enough ductility as structure material.

JMTR is making preparations of the irradiation examinations towards the re-operation from the 2011 fiscal year now. Design examination of the high-duty irradiation loop is in one of these irradiation examinations of the irradiation plan. The examination is the plan to carry out the irradiation examination of the light water reactor fuel (uranium fuel and mixed oxide fuel) which reached the high burnup, under the irradiation environment nearer to the light water reactor plant. In the 2009 fiscal year, we carried out (1) System design and (2) Earthquake-proof calculation of in-pile tube of the high-duty irradiation loop. And, for the fuel action between covering pipe and pellets of fuel rod which reached the high burnup, we carried out (3) System design of the lift-off test facility. Moreover, we carried out (4) Examination about detection system of fuel breakage when a fuel sample is damaged, and (5) Examination about system composition of effluent treatment system.

JAEA has a plan to produce Mo, a parent nuclide of Tc. At present, radioisotopes are indispensable for a diagnosis and treatment in the medical field. Demand of Tc (half life 6h) used as a radiopharmaceutical increases up year by year. Moreover, the expansion of demand will be expected in future. However, the supply of Mo in Japan depends fully on the import from foreign countries. Therefore, it is necessary to supply Mo stably by the domestic production. There are two methods of Mo (half life 65.9h) production; the one is the nuclear fission (n,fiss) method, and the other is the (n,
) method using the 
Mo target. Mo production in the JMTR with the (n,) method was studied and evaluated. As a result, it was found that the partial amount of Mo demand is possible to supply stably if a new hydraulic-rabbit-irradiation-facility (HR) is used.

s
. First criticality was achieved in March 1968, and its operation was stopped from August, 2006 for the refurbishment. The refurbishment is scheduled from the beginning of FY2007 to the end of FY2010. The renewed and upgraded JMTR will be re-started from FY2011. An investigation on aged components (aged-investigation) was carried out for concrete structures of the JMTR reactor building, exhaust stack, etc., and for tanks in the primary cooling system, heat exchangers, pipes in the secondary cooling system, cooling tower, emergency generators and so on, in order to identify their integrity. The aged-investigation was carried out at the beginning of FY2007. As a result, some components were decided to replace from viewpoints of future maintenance and improvement of reliability, and some components or structures were decided to repair. A visual inspection of inner side of the pressure vessel was carried out using an underwater camera in FY2008, and no serious damage was observed. Up to now, refurbishment works are in progress according to the planned schedule. In this paper, current status of JMTR refurbishment project is presented.

Decommissioning of the water loop irradiation facility polluted by fission products and cruds was studied, and the reasonable waste classification occurring by the decommissioning was also studied. A out-pile equipment of the irradiation loop facility installed in JMTR is considered as a decommissioning object. Measurement of ambient dose rate in the out-pile facility and evaluation of the deposited radionuclide concentration in the cooling pipe were carried. In result, it was clear that the significant radionuclide is 
Co, and that occurred waste can classify as the shallow-ground trench disposal level, clearance level, non-radioactive waste. Furthermore, through the investigation of the cutting method for minimizing secondary waste generation, plumbing cutting machine with preventing scattering function was developed by trial manufactured cutter that surrounds the cutting pipe by box.
