The concept of a plutonium (Pu) burner HTGR is proposed to incarnate highly-effective Pu utilization by its inherent safety features. The security and safety fuel (3S-TRISO fuel) employs the coated fuel particle with a fuel kernel made of plutonium dioxide (PuO$$_{2}$$) and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as an inert matrix. This paper presents feasibility study of Pu burner HTGR and R&D on the 3S-TRISO fuel.

Conceptual study of a plutonium burner high temperature gas-cooled reactor with high nuclear proliferation resistance

Proceedings of 21st International Conference & Exhibition; Nuclear Fuel Cycle for a Low-Carbon Future (GLOBAL 2015) (USB Flash Drive), p.507 - 513, 2015/09

A concept of a plutonium burner HTGR named as Clean Burn, which has a high nuclear proliferation resistance, had been proposed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In addition to the high nuclear proliferation resistance, in order to enhance the safety, we propose to introduce PuO$$_{2}$$-YSZ TRISO fuel with ZrC coating to the Clean Burn. In this study, we conduct fabrication tests aiming to establish the basic technologies for fabrication of PuO$$_{2}$$-YSZ TRISO fuel with ZrC coating. Additionally, we conduct a quantitative evaluation of the security for the safety, a design of the fuel and the reactor core, and a safety evaluation for the Clean Burn to confirm the feasibility. This study is conducted by The University of Tokyo, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd., and Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. It was started in FY2014 and will be completed in FY2017, and the first year of the implementation was on schedule.

Study of the applicability of CFD calculation for HTTR reactor

Tsuji, Nobumasa*; Nakano, Masaaki*; Takada, Eiji*; Tokuhara, Kazumi*; Ohashi, Kazutaka*; Okamoto, Futoshi*; Tazawa, Yujiro; Inaba, Yoshitomo; Tachibana, Yukio

Proceedings of 6th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology (HTR 2012) (USB Flash Drive), 9 Pages, 2012/10

Passive heat removal performance of the reactor vessel cavity cooling system (RCCS) is of primary concern for enhanced inherent safety of HTGR. In a loss of forced cooling accident, decay heat must be removed by radiation and natural convection of RCCS. Thus thermal hydraulic analysis of reactor internals and RCCS is powerful means for evaluation of the heat removal performance of RCCS. The thermal hydraulic analyses using CFD computation tools are conducted for normal operation of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) and are compared to the temperature distribution of measured data. The calculated temperatures on outer faces of the permanent side reflector (PSR) blocks are in fair agreement with measured data. The transient analysis for decay heat removal mode in HTTR is also conducted.

Core design and safety analyses of 600 MWt, 950$$^{circ}$$C high temperature gas-cooled reactor

Nakano, Masaaki*; Takada, Eiji*; Tsuji, Nobumasa*; Tokuhara, Kazumi*; Ohashi, Kazutaka*; Okamoto, Futoshi*; Tazawa, Yujiro; Tachibana, Yukio

Proceedings of 6th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology (HTR 2012) (USB Flash Drive), 6 Pages, 2012/10

The conceptual core design study of High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is performed. The major specifications are 600 MW thermal output, 950$$^{circ}$$C outlet coolant temperature, prismatic core type, enriched uranium fuel. The decay heat in the core can be removed with only passive measures, for example, natural convection reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS), even if any electricity is not supplied (station blackout). The transient thermal analysis of the depressurization accident in the case the primary coolant decreases to the atmosphere pressure shows that the fuels and the reactor pressure vessel temperatures are kept under their safety limit criteria. The fission product release, $$^{rm 110m}$$Ag and $$^{137}$$Cs from the fuels under the normal operation is small as to make maintenance of devices in the primary cooling system, such as a gas turbine, without remote maintenance. The HTGRs can achieve the advanced safety features based on their inherent passive safety characteristics.

Interests on the development of the Very High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTR), of which the reactor outlet temperature is 950$$^{circ}$$C or much higher, are recently increasing world-widely and it was selected as one of the candidate reactor types of the GIF. Japan Atomic Energy Agency has already initiated R&D efforts on the electricity and hydrogen co-generation plant with VHTR system, GTHTR300C. Although technical feasibility of its VHTR reactor using Pin-in-block fuel, which has experience to be already used in the HTTR, has been shown fundamentally, more improvements of the core performances, such as decrease of the occupational exposure doses during the plant maintenance, are desired. This report presents the results of the conceptual core design study using Multi-hole type fuel and the study on the occupational exposure doses. The latter results shows much better plant maintainability compared to the previous results of the GTHTR-300.

Evaluation of dependence of current decay time on electron temperature measured by He I line intensity ratios in JT-60U tokamak

Okamoto, Masaaki*; Hiraishi, Takehiro*; Ono, Noriyasu*; Takamura, Shuichi*; Nakano, Tomohide; Kawano, Yasunori; Ozeki, Takahisa; Sugihara, Masayoshi

Europhysics Conference Abstracts (CD-ROM), 31F, 4 Pages, 2007/00

It is of importance to evaluate the decay time of the plasma current for estimation of the electromagnetic force acting on the vacuum vessel during plasma disruptions in tokamak devices. The L/R model predicts that the decay time is proportional to three-haves power of the electron temperature, indicating the importance of the electron temperature for the estimation. However, it is difficult to measure the electron temperature of the disruptive plasma with the Langmuir probe due to the heat flux and due to the significant electromagnetic force. We propose a measurement technique of the electron temperature by using temperature-sensitive He I lines with high time resolution. In this method, the incident light to a spectrometer is divided into three, each of which transmits a bandpass filter, and then is measured with an absolutely calibrated photo-multiplier. The measured intensity ratios are analyzed with a collisional-radiative model. It is confirmed that the electron temperature determined by this technique is in agreement with that measured by a Langmuir probe in some devices. In the present work, the temporal evolution of the electron temperature during the disruptive plasma of JT-60U is measured with this technique.
