The objectives of the fuel safety research program at JAEA are to evaluate the adequacy of present safety criteria and safety margins, to provide a database for the regulation on improved fuels using new materials of cladding and pellet, and to provide reasonably mechanistic computer codes for regulatory application, in terms of light water reactor fuel. In this presentation, in addition to recent progress in the reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) and loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) test programs, an overview of the current status of the fuel safety research at JAEA is described.
