| The experimental fast reactor JOYO achieved initial criticality in April 1977 as the first liquid metal fast breeder reactor in JAPAN. As a fuels and materials irradiation test facility, JOYO achieved the maximum design output of 100MWt in 1983, and thirty-two cycles of 100MWt rated power operation were successfully conducted until the end of March 1998. During this period, many irradiation tests for the development of fuels and materials were carried out. |
