The fabrication of the 2nd loading fuel for the HTTR has been started from October 2002 and completed successfully by March 2005. While the fabrication of the 2nd loading fuel for the HTTR, the fuel kernels, coated fuel particles and fuel compacts has inspected to compared with fuel fabrication specification. As the result of these inspections, we confirmed a good quality of the 2nd loading fuel for the HTTR as similarly the first loading fuel for the HTTR. This report describes fabrication data of fuel kernels, coated fuel particle and fuel compacts of HTTR 2nd loading fuel. The fabrication data of this report could be the basis of the study of fuel and fission product release behavior etc. on the HTTR operation, and contribute to post irradiation examinations of HTTR fuel in the future.

The Very-High-Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is one of the strong candidates for the Generation IV Nuclear Energy System. JAERI has developed Zirconium carbide (ZrC)-coated fuel particle and ZrC coating layer is expected to maintain its intactness under higher temperature and burn-up comparing conventional SiC-coating layer. JAERI carries out (1) ZrC-coating process development by large-scale coater, (2) inspection method development and (3) irradiation test and post irradiation experiment of ZrC coated particles. Also, JAERI carries out reactivity insertion tests to clarify the coating failure mechanism and tries to increase allowable temperature limit in case of reactivity insertion accident. Furthermore, JAERI develops non-destructive evaluation methods for mechanical properties of graphite components by ultrasonic testing and micro-indentation technique. This report describes these research and development plan and results of FY 2004 as a MEXT contact research.
