In order to reduce the influence on a plant schedule of the MONJU by the maintenance of dew point hygrometers, The JAEA examined a capacitance type dew point hygrometer as an alternative dew point hygrometer for a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer which had been used at the CV-LRT in the MONJU. As a result of comparing a capacitance type dew point hygrometer with a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer at the CV-LRT (Atmosphere: nitrogen, Testing time: 24 hours), there weren't significant difference between a capacitance type dew point hygrometer and a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer. As a result of comparing a capacitance dew point hygrometer with a high-mirror-surface type dew point hygrometer for long term verification (Atmosphere: air, Testing time: 24 months), the JAEA confirmed that a capacitance type dew point hygrometer satisfied the instrument specification (2.04C) required by the JEAC4203-2008.

Under the circumstances where the fuel is disposed in the reactor core and the furnace fuel storage tank during the decommissioning measures of "Monju" where the decay heat is at an extremely low level, while preventing the sodium from being frozen by the preheater heater, It is desirable to continue operation of cooling the dissipated heat released into the compartment by ventilating air conditioning equipment. However, the operation of ventilation air conditioning equipment is designed for normal operation of nuclear reactors, and it is necessary to review the proper operation according to the situation at the stage of decommissioning. In this report, we will summarize the relationship between the actual load and the capacity of the ventilating and air conditioning equipment based on the past operation data and report on the status of consideration on rational ventilation air conditioning equipment operation at the decommissioning stage.

The lithium chloride-type dew point detector was used for reactor containment vessel the entire leak rate test (CV-LRT) in fast-breeder reactor Monju (Monju) which needs the maintenance every three months. But when the plant process is considered, it's desirable for the maintenance periods beyond 12 months. Thereupon the capacitance-type dew point detector made in VAISALA Corporation was nominated as the alternative lithium chloride-type dew point detector in Monju. The lithium chloride-type dew point detector, when it's adopted, for, to have to be satisfied a request of the regulations, it's necessary to estimate the performance of the lithium chloride-type dew point detector. In the condition of the CV-LRT, the dew point data were measured by the capacitance-type dew point detector and the lithium chloride-type dew point detector for 24 hours. These data were compared and the performance of the capacitance-type dew point detector was estimated. Furthermore, the dew point data of Monju under the atmosphere ware continuously measured by the capacitance-type dew point detector and the mirror surface-type dew point detector for 2 years. These data were compared and the performance of the capacitance-type dew point detector was estimated. As a result, the capacitance-type dew point detector was confirmed that had the instrument precision that JEAC4203-2008 required.

We have been evaluating mainly the data acquired by the central computer so far, but we focused on evaluation using preservation data from this time. In this report, we report on the results of examination of the shaft sealing mechanism which constitutes the boundary of the cover gas including sodium vapor from the viewpoint of seal gas effect considered in the design stage for sodium vapor and sealability of the cover gas boundary by using the Monju plant data and conservation data for 20 years.
