fast reactor nuclear reactor reactor thermal			Fugen advanced thermal reactor to be dismantled over 22 years TSURUGA, Japan - The state-run Japan Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday it has applied for government approval for its plan to dismantle the Fugen advanced thermal reactor that ceased operations in 2003. Kyodo economic news summary -6- by Japan Weekly Monitor The ovens have two main compartments: the lower chamber where the dewaxing is done and the upper chamber, which acts as the thermal reactor or afterburner section. Investment Dewax Ovens by Modern Casting credit-rating agency said Kansai Electric's long-term rating and outlook will remain at AA minus and stable as ''a substantial deterioration in the company's financial profile is unlikely'' given that the Mihama plant shutdown and possible stoppage of other nuclear and thermal reactors ''will have only a limited impact on its power supply.
