高速炉を用いたMAのリサイクル・有効利用のためには、MAの核変換特性を明らかにすることが重要となる。そこで、純度の高いAmやUサンプルを高速実験炉「常陽」で照射し、化学分析により実験的に核変換特性を評価した。その結果、Amサンプルについては、分析データに基づいて核変換率を求め、その中性子照射量(エネルギー)依存性を明らかにした。Uサンプルについては、Pu生成量が中性子照射量(エネルギー)に依存し、燃料装荷領域と反射体領域で異なることを明らかにした。

Concepts of effective use and recycling of minor actinide (MA) in fast reactor were proposed. Evaluation of MA transmutation behavior plays important roles for this purpose. Therefore, Am and U samples with high purity were irradiated in an experimental fast reactor Joyo. Transmutation behavior of Am and U samples were evaluated experimentally by chemical analysis. Transmutation ratios of $$^{241}$$Am were calculated. Their dependence on neutron flux and neutron energy was evaluated. $$^{239}$$Pu production per neutron fluence from $$^{238}$$U in the reflector region was larger than that in the fuel stack region.
