3. DESCRIPTION

A vast program of reactor physics experiments was carried out in Japan. It covers the areas of:

  • thermal reactors

  • advanced thermal reactors

  • high temperature reactors

  • very high temperature reactors

  • triga reactors

  • fast reactor

  • various other experimental facilities

 

A number of primary documents produced at the end of the experimental campaign has been made available to the International Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments Project (IRPhE).

These documents are collected here and are characterised as follows:

  • TCA Experiments

  • DCA Experiments - Research on ATR

  • Research on Criticality Safety

  • Fast Reactor Experiments

  • Very High Temperature Reactor Critical (VHTRC) Assembly

  • Triga Experiments (Musashi)
