A capsule irradiation test with the high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel is being carried out using WWR-K research reactor in the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Republic of Kazakhstan (INP) to attain 100 GWd/t-U of burnup under normal operating condition of a practical small-sized HTGR. This is the first HTGR fuel irradiation test for INP in Kazakhstan collaborated with Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in frame of International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) project. In the test, TRISO coated fuel particle with low-enriched UO (less than 10% of
U) is used, which was newly designed by JAEA to extend burnup up to 100 GWd/t-U comparing with that of the HTTR (33 GWd/t-U). Both TRISO and fuel compact as the irradiation test specimen were fabricated in basis of the HTTR fuel technology by Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. in Japan. A helium-gas-swept capsule and a swept-gas sampling device installed in WWR-K were designed and constructed by INP. The irradiation test has been started in October 2012 and will be completed up to the end of February 2015. The irradiation test is in the progress up to 69 GWd/t of burnup, and integrity of new TRISO fuel has been confirmed. In addition, as predicted by the fuel design, fission gas release was observed due to additional failure of as-fabricated SiC-defective fuel.

Prediction of irradiation temperature is one of the important issues in the design of the capsule for irradiation test. Many kinds of capsules with complex structure have been designed for recent irradiation requests, and three-dimensional (3D) temperature calculation becomes inevitable for the evaluation of irradiation temperature. For such 3D calculation, however, many works are usually needed for input data preparation, and a lot of time and resources are necessary for parametric studies in the design. To improve such situation, JAERI introduced 3D-FEM (finite element method) code NISA (Numerically Integrated elements for System Analysis) and developed several subprograms, which enabled to support input preparation works in the capsule design. The 3D temperature calculation of the capsule are able to carried out in much easier way by the help of the subprograms, and specific features in the irradiation tests such as non-uniform gamma heating in the capsule, becomes to be considered.

Recently, the number of in-situ tests using optical fibers as signal transmission lines is increasing in the JMTR, because of their noise-tolerant capability and recent development of irradiation proof type fibers. The convensional seal methods, however, have the problem of trust when they applied to the penetration of the irradiation capsule using optical fibers. As the solution of the problem, we selected soldering seal method that was already applied to the deep-sea optical fiber cables and, as its modification, the silver alloy brazing method. From the result of the out-of-pile test, it was confirmed that both soldering seal and silver alloy brazing seal would be applicable to the plug seal of irradiation capsules. Then the soldering seal was applied to a capsule with optical fibers and was irradiated for 5 operation cycles of the JMTR (about 3000 hours). No deterioration was found at the seal after irradiation. This suggested that in-core use of optical fiber was thought to be promising.

In the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), the temperature distribution inside of irradiation specimens and capsules structure material are evaluated in the design of irradiation capsules. For the evaluation of detailed temperature distribution, NISA (Numerically Integrated elements for System Analysis) code has been introduced, and subprograms are developed to simplify the input data of the capsules structure and the analysis conditions using the three-dimensional finite element method. By the development of subprograms, prediction of the temperature distribution inside of irradiation specimens and capsules structure material became detailed and more accurate than calculation by one-dimensional code. Also estimation of detail temperature distribution during irradiation became possible based on the indication of thermocouple.
