Study of maintenance methods for pyrochemical process by using virtual engineering models

Kakehi, Isao; Yoshiuji, Takahiro*

This report describes accomplishment of simulations of maintenance methods for the pyrochemical process by using virtual engineering models. The pyrochemical process using molten salt electrorefining would introduce new technologies for new fuels of particle oxide, particle nitride and metallic fuels. This system is a batch treatment system of reprocessing and re-fabrication, which transports products of solid form from a process to next process. The maintenance of this process needs remote control, because the process equipments are arranged in a large hot cell. In this study, a simulation code system has been prepared, which provides virtual engineering environment to evaluate the maintenance methods, which we have planned for the pyrochemical process. The simulation study has been conducted to evaluate the required system functions of the maintenance, including methods procedure, handling system, equipments, and remote control. The simulation study has been conducted in the case of the maintenance of molten salt electrorefiner. As a result of simulation of the process maintenance, which we have designed, the realistic maintenance system for the pyrochemical process have been shown. The issues for the system development have been pointed out.
