The JAERI superconducting RF linac-based free-electron laser has successfully generated 6% highly-efficient, a few hundreds of femtosecond, and several kW class high power FEL light several years ago. In the presentation, it will be reprted that the JAERI plans to develop the higher power free-electron lasers and their application to large-scale non-thermal precision manufacturing technology.

Fission products (FPs), which are generated and stored in fuel matrix by irradiating nuclear fuels, affect thermo-physical fuel properties. To improve accuracy of computer simulation of irradiation behaviors, studies on the fuel properties containing FPs are needed. However, only a limited number of studies on the irradiated fuel properties, especially MOX fuels, have been reported in the world due to difficulties in handling of the irradiated fuels. Moreover, the effect of individual FP cannot be evaluated because many kinds of FPs are stored in the irradiated fuels. Thus, an alternative method should be suggested to easily study the effects of FPs on the fuel properties. In this study, fuel properties were measured to evaluate the effects of FPs by using simulated FP-doped MOX specimens instead of a real irradiated fuel. For the measurement, the homogeneity of FP in a specimen is also important, as well as uranium and plutonium. To obtain homogeneous specimens, re-grinding and re-sintering processes were repeated and the improvement was confirmed by EPMA and XRD at each set of the process. A specimen with suitable homogeneity for measurement was prepared by repeating the series of processes three times. SmO, GdO and ZrO, which are major and soluble FPs in irradiated MOX fuels, were selected as simulated FPs. The effect of individual FP on the properties, such as thermal conductivity and thermal expansion, was evaluated on the specimens. In addition, NdO, SmO and GdO co-doped MOX was also prepared to compare the influence of containing multiple lanthanides.
