In the experimental fast reactor Joyo, as a part of the restoration work of a partial dysfunction of fuel handling, the replacement of the upper core structure (UCS) was started from March 2014, and was completed in December 2014. In the jack-up test, the UCS was jacked-up to 1000 mm without significant sodium shearing resistance and interference. In the replacement of the UCS, a procedure was prepared with the use of wire-jack equipment assuming the interference. As a result, with the procedure and wire-jack were effectively functioned, the work was successfully completed.

From a viewpoint of heat leakage, there were two incidents during HTTR power-rise-tests. One was a temperature rise of the primary upper shielding, and the other was a temperature rise of the core support plate. Causes of the both incidents were small amount of helium flow in structures. For the temperature rise of the primary upper shielding, countermeasures to reduce the small amount of helium flow, enhancement of heat release and installation of thermal insulator were taken. For the temperature rise of the core support plate, temperature evaluations were carried out again considering the small amount of helium flow and design temperature of the core support plate was revised. By these countermeasures, the both temperatures were kept below their limits.

In the experimental fast reactor Joyo, the upper core structure (UCS) was replaced. We have evaluated $$gamma$$-ray dose rates on UCS in order to conduct radiation shielding design of the UCS cask and radiation exposure control in the UCS removal work. The $$gamma$$-ray dose rates was calculated using the QAD-CGGP2R and corrected by the measured in-vessel axial distributions of $$gamma$$-ray dose rate. In order to verify the $$gamma$$-ray dose rate evaluation procedure, we measured spatial distribution of $$gamma$$-ray on the surface of the cask, which contained UCS using plastic scintillating optical fiber (PSF) during the UCS removal work. The calculated PSF output values were approximately twice as large as measured through the UCS. Correcting the calculated $$gamma$$-ray dose rates on the surface of the cask by results of the comparison has shown appropriate $$gamma$$-ray dose rates distribution.
