HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor) loaded the first driver fuel in July 1998 and reached first criticality state in November 1998. After power increasing examination, HTTR has been conducting safety demonstration test and sequentially acquiring basic technical data of high temperature gas cool reactor. Temperature measurement inside the reactor is planed in the next midterm plan to improve HTTR performance. This report describes the investigation result of fuel temperature measurement method which is applicable to critical irradiation test.

The first driver fuel of the HTTR (High Temperature Engineering test Reactor) was loaded in 1998 and the HTTR reached first criticality state in the same year. The HTTR has been operated using the first driver fuel for a decade. In Fuel elements assembling, 4770 of fuel rods which consist of 12 kinds of enrichment uranium are loaded into 150 fuel graphite blocks for HTTR second driver fuel elements. Measures of prevention of fuel rod miss loading, are employed in fuel design. Additionally, precaution of fuel handling on assembling are considered. Reception of fuel rods, assembling of fuel elements and storage of second driver fuels in the fresh fuel storage rack in the HTTR were started since June, 2008. Assembling, storage and pre-service inspection were divided into three parts. The second driver fuel assembling was completed in September, 2008. This report describes concerns of fuel handling on assembling and storage work for the HTTR fuel elements.

The first driver fuel of the HTTR (High Temperature Engineering test Reactor) was loaded in 1998 and the HTTR reached first criticality state in the same year. The HTTR has been operated using the first driver fuel for a decade. HTTR reactor core consist of twelve kinds of enriched uranium fuel elements. Fuel rods were designed for avoiding fuel rod false loading because fuel rods number is 4770, and it was considered on handling. Reception of fuel rods, assembling of fuel elements and storage of second driver fuels in the fresh fuel storage rack in the HTTR were started since June, 2008. Pre-service inspection was finished. And the second driver fuel assembling was completed in September, 2008. This report describes concerns of fuel handling on assembling and storage work for the HTTR fuel elements.

The temperature monitors for fuel blocks in high temperature gas reactors during operation are being developed. The temperature monitors consist of alloy wires, with various melting points, sealed in quarts capsules. The temperature can be evaluated in the range from 600 to 1400 C with 22 types of the temperature monitors. The temperature monitors have been irradiated by the capsule in JMTR, and then, PIEs such as X-ray radiograph and EPMA have been carried out. As the results of the PIE, it was estimated that the temperature monitors can be used up to 90 days at 1100 C, or up to 50 days at 13001350 C.
