Commissioning Approaches Used in Japan Fugen 165 MW(E) HWR

摘要

Fugen is a 165 MW(E) prototype heavy water reactor which uses uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. Site construction started at Tsuruga in the Fukui-prefecture in December 1970, and the plant went into commercial operation in March 1979. This paper covers the commissioning during the period from the initial fuel loading to the commencement of commercial operation, and describes commissioning approaches used in Fugen with special emphasis on planning, organization, programme management and some features on commissioning techniques.
