高レベル廃棄物処理方法として現在世界的に採用されているガラス固化溶融技術について、将来の高燃焼度軽水炉及びプルサーマルから発生する高レベル廃棄物並びにFBRサイクルから発生する高レベル廃棄物への適用性及び柔軟性を、各サイクルから発生する高レベル廃液の組成から評価した。各燃料サイクルから発生する高レベル廃棄物処理方法として、溶融条件等の改良や最適化を図ることにより、現行のガラス固化溶融技術を適用できる見通しがあり、加えてFBRサイクルにおいて開発中の新しい湿式再処理法においては、高レベル廃棄物の減容化が図れるものと考えられる。さらに、現在開発中の白金族元素対策等の技術開発が将来の燃料サイクルからの高レベル廃棄物のガラス固化処理においても重要であることが確認された。

Achievement of reliable technologies on solidification and disposal of the HLW from future fuel cycle systems such for high burnup LWR, Pu-thermal (MOX), fast breeder reactor (FBR) and their transient stages is one of the most important issues to establish such advanced fuel cycle systems. In this paper, applicability and flexibility of the current vitrification technology for LWR fuel cycle to HLW from the future fuel cycle systems were reviewed by examining characteristics of the HLWs. The current developed vitrification technology is expected to have an advantage for applying to the solidification process of the HLW generated from future fuel cycle systems with some modification/optimization of the melting condition, etc. Moreover, it is thought that the advance aqueous reprocessing system developed for future FBR cycle has the potential which can contribute to the further reducing the number/volume of the HLW. It is also confirmed that development efforts on countermeasure for accumulation of noble metals, which JAEA has been carrying out aiming to accomplishing more stable and reliable operation of the vitrification process and extending the melter's life, will be able to contribute in the future fuel cycle system furthermore.
