JAEA has been modifying the Static Experiment Critical Facility (STACY) to experimentally study on the criticality characteristics of fuel debris. Although arbitrary detectors or activation samples can be placed in the core of STACY, they must be contained in sheath tubes (insertion tubes) that have been approved by the regulatory authorities. This report presents the status of the design study of the insertion tube for the experiments in the modified STACY.

As previously reported, to clarify critical characteristics of fuel debris, the Static Experiment Critical Facility (STACY) is being converted to the heterogenous thermal system using fuel rods and light water moderator from the homogenous system using solution fuel. Seismic reinforcement of the support structure of the core tank started in 2022. This report presents progress on manufacture and construction of the modified STACY in 2021 and 2022.

In order to clarify the criticality characteristics of fuel debris, we plan experiments in the Static Experiment Critical Facility (STACY) by using concrete and steel simulating the structural materials of the core of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In order to carry out the experiments, it is necessary to obtain a construction permit for the core with the debris structural material simulant mentioned above. In this presentation, we present the analysis results and the feasible core configuration for obtaining the certification from the regulatory body.
