Post irradiation examination (PIE) facilities have been operated for about 40 years at the Oarai Research and Development Center of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency to investigate the performance and soundness of irradiated fuels and materials. The JMTR Hot Laboratory (JMTR-HL) was founded in 1971 mainly to examine the objects irradiated in the Japan Material Testing Reactor (JMTR). The Alpha-Gamma Facility (AGF) was constructed as the first laboratory to perform PIE of plutonium-bearing fuels for Japanese fast reactor development programs. This facility started hot operation in 1971 and has performed physical, metallurgical, and chemical examinations of irradiated fuels including uranium plutonium mixed oxide fuels. A renewal plan for the JMTR-HL and AGF is now in progress, associated with re-operation of the JMTR.

The new JMTR is expected to contribute to many fields: the lifetime extension of LWRs (aging management of LWRs, development of next generation LWRs, etc.), the expansion of industry use (production of the medical radioisotope Tc, etc.) and the progress of science and technology (namely, basic research on nuclear energy). To meet a wide range of users needs, new irradiation technologies with advanced techniques have been developed. In this paper, status of the development of new measuring instruments are introduced which for neutron and irradiation tests in JMTR such as multi-paired thermocouple, rod inner pressure gauge, Self-Powered Neutron Detector (SPND) and Self-Powered Gamma Detector (SPGD).
