The sodium leak accident in a secondary main cooling system of prototype fast breeder reactor (FBR) Monju was occurred on December 8th in 1995 and the Monju has shut down since that. After the establishment of public acceptance, improvement of operational procedure, countermeasures to sodium leakage, Monju restarted on May 6“ 2010. The integrity confirmation of water and steam, turbine system is underway toward the 40% rated power confirmation test which confirm the whole plant performance. FBR can breed ...

Maintenance Activity of Prototype FBR Monju

A sodium cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR) has unique systems and components and different degradation mechanism from light water reactor (LWR) so that need to establish maintenance technology in accordance with its features. The examination of the FBR maintenance technology is carried out in the special committee for considering the maintenance for Monju established in the Japan Society of Maintenology (JSM). As a result of the study such as extraction of Monju maintenance feature, maintenance technol...
