| Description | Research and development of minor actinide-containing fuels and targets, i.e., $(Pu,Am)O_{2}$–MgO, $(Pu,Np)O_{2}$–MgO, $(U,Pu,Np)O_{2}$, (U,Pu,Np)N and (Pu,Np,Zr)N, for use in a future integrated closed cycle system that includes fast reactor and accelerator driven sub-critical system is underway. The present statuses of fabrication test and property measurements are given. Design concept of the oxide target is described in detail together with a screening of the support material. A new apparatus for the measurement of mechanical properties at the elevated temperature is installed for use in evaluating the fuel-cladding mechanical interaction. Development histories with future prospects of two types of Np-containing fuels for the fast reactor are mentioned. Preliminary test results for a new nitride target for the accelerator driven sub-critical system are given. Finally, an irradiation test plan in the experimental fast reactor JOYO is briefly described. |
