MOX燃料加工施設では、MOXはPuの閉じ込めのためグローブボックス(GB)の内部で取り扱われる。本研究では、GBパネル材として一般的なポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)とポリカーボネート(PC)の熱分解特性に対する$$gamma$$線照射の影響を検討した。$$^{60}$$Coを用いてそれらを照射し、TG-DTAを用いて同特性データを取得した。25kGy以上では、PMMAの分子鎖末端における解重合と考えられる質量減少速度のピーク温度はより低温側に、また、主鎖のランダムな切断によって引き起こされる解重合と考えられるピーク温度はより高温側にシフトした。PMMAは10kGyまで、PCは880kGyまでの条件では、明確な効果は観察されなかった。操業期間中にGBが受ける積算照射線量評価結果と比較することで、MOXからの照射は、実施設で使用されるGBパネル材の熱分解特性に対して明らかな影響を与えないことを確認した。

The glove box (GB) is the equipment with some kinds of plastic components which is used for the containment of the radioactive material. In the MOX fuel fabrication facility, MOX is also handled in the GB. Since the plastic panel, which has the largest area of the GB, is used in the long period, it is exposed to high dose from MOX continuously. In this study, to confirm that containment capability of GB can be maintained even under external thermal stress, effect of the $$gamma$$-ray irradiation with $$^{60}$$Co on the pyrolysis properties of the common panel materials which were obtained by TG-DTA has been investigated. As a result, polymethylmethacrylate showed the large peak of mass loss rate at about 260 degrees under the non-irradiation and air condition but it separated into lower and higher temperature sides above 25 kGy. The effect was not observed up to 10 kGy for polymethylmethacrylate, and up to 880 kGy for polycarbonate. By comparing with the estimated total dose of which GB panel would be irradiated in the operation period, it was found that the irradiation from MOX does not have significant effect on the pyrolysis properties of GB panel in the actual facility.
