After the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant, research and development (R&D) program for establishing technical basis of accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) started from 2015 in Japan. Since then, both experimental and analytical studies necessary for designing a new light water reactor (LWR) core with ATF candidate materials are being conducted within the Japanese ATF R&D Consortium for implementing ATF to the existing LWRs, accompanying with various technological developments required. Until now, we have accumulated experimental data of the candidate materials by out-of-pile tests, developed fuel evaluation codes to apply to the ATF candidate materials, and evaluated fuel behavior simulating operational and accidental conditions by the developed codes. In this paper, the R&D progresses of the ATF candidate materials considered in Japan are reviewed based on the information available such as proceedings of international conference and academic papers, providing an overview of ATF program in Japan.

Since the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, enhancing the accident tolerance of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) became a topic of serious discussion, and the research and development for improving the safety LWRs has been activated in many countries. This project is one of the projects that entrusted from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. Using a domestic human source, an analysis tool, know-how and experience, the basic technique to apply an accident tolerant fuel material to an existing LWRs is developed in the project. It is started from October, 2015 and is carrying out this project continuously.

SiC composite material is one of the candidate material as the accident tolerant fuel. The acquisition of the irradiation properties, the evaluation of fuel design and accident safety are main problems for the SiC composite material. For the solution, out- and in-pile testings of SiC composite, development of evaluation technique of fuel behavior, core characteristic and the safety at accident, analyses and evaluations by using the developed techniques have been carried out.

The SiC/SiC composite has lower thermal conductivity than current Zry cladding, and it is necessary to raise a gap between the pellet and the cladding to prevent their contact from the viewpoint of pellet integrity. In the presentation, it will be reported that the effect of reduction of cladding diameter and hollow pellet on the temperature and the reactivity of the core.

Research and development (R&D) program for establishing technical basis of ATFs for light water reactor (LWR) started in 2015. Since then the R&D is being conducted in cooperation with power plant providers, fuel venders, research institutes and universities for making the most use of the experiences in R&D, practical design, and evaluations of fuels and cores of commercial LWRs. Among currently explored ATF candidate materials in the program, silicon carbide composite reinforced by SiC fiber (SiC/SiC) and FeCrAl steel strengthened by dispersion of fine oxide particles (FeCrAl-ODS) offer several attractive features including the remarkable high temperature capabilities and the slow kinetics of steam oxidation reactions. This presentation will give an overview of the progress in ATF development and review the current status of data availability and integrity for the properties and behaviors of ATF candidate materials, followed by discussion on the primary differences from zirconium alloy in the behaviors in the severe accident scenarios. Finally, subjects to be solved for practical use of ATF will be summarized.

In Japan, research and development (R&D) program for establishing technical basis of ATF started in 2015 and is being conducted in cooperation with power plant providers, fuel venders and universities for making the most use of the experiences in R&D, practical design, and evaluations of fuels and cores of commercial LWRs. The present paper reviews the progress of the development and summarizes subjects to be solved for ATF cladding, based on the attribute guide which was originally drawn up in the Japanese ATF R&D program as it should be an indicator of proper ATF development guidance.

Japan's Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) research and development (R&D) program has been conducted since 2015 in cooperation with power plant providers, fuel venders and universities for making the most use of the experiences in R&D, practical design, and evaluations of fuels and cores of commercial Light Water Reactors (LWRs). An overview of the present R&D progress is given, in relation to the role of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in the program. The ATF candidate materials currently under consideration are the following three claddings: the silicon carbide (SiC) composite which is potentially applicable for Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), the FeCrAl steel strengthened by dispersion of fine oxide particles (FeCrAl-ODS) for BWR, and Cr-coated zircalloy claddings for PWR. In addition to the cladding materials, R&D on the SiC-made BWR channel box and accident tolerant control rods are also underway.
