摘要

A decrease of the U235 enrichment in the fresh fuel of JRR2 and JMTR to 20 w/o is not attractive as it would lead to delay and restrictions in the irradiation experiments e.g. experiments related to LOCA, to VHTR (Very High Temperature Reactor) and to LWR. In particular the decrease of the enrichment would affect possible experiments on LWR-fuel for optimized operation, i.e. with average discharge burnup increased by about 50% over today's values.
