The Japan Power Demonstration Reactor ( JPDR , Japanese 動力 試 験 炉 , Dōryoku shikenro , literally: "Experimental stove for electrical energy") was a Japanese experimental reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute . It is the only reactor in Japan that has been completely dismantled.
history
On August 22, 1963, the reactor went critical for the first time . The plant was the first nuclear power plant in Asia and was commissioned on October 26, 1963 on the site of today's Tōkai nuclear power plant . The boiling water reactor was shut down on March 18, 1976. From 1986, safe methods of decontaminating and dismantling reactors were explored. These experiments were completed on March 31, 1996.
Data of the reactor blocks
The plant consisted of one block :
| Reactor block | Reactor type | net power |
gross power |
start of building | Network synchronization |
