The objectives of the fuel safety research at JAEA are to evaluate the appropriateness of current Japanese regulatory criteria and their safety margins regarding light-water-reactor fuels, to provide the data for regulation for improved fuels which consist of cladding and fuel pellet with new materials, and to provide fuel behavior analysis codes which are applicable to regulatory activities. In this presentation, the outline of fuel safety research activities at JAEA is presented in addition to the progress in reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) and loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) experiments.
