Characterization of melt-solidified (U, Gd, Zr)O$$_{2-x}$$ as simulated corium debris

Morimoto, Kyoichi ; Hirooka, Shun ; Akashi, Masatoshi ; Watanabe, Masashi  

The influence of Gd on characteristics of debris is important for removing the debris from the reactors of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant because subassemblies of nuclear fuels containing Gd$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ were loaded in the some reactor cores. Additionally, it is important to assess the distribution state of Gd from the anxiety of re-criticality caused by the relocation of debris while removing them. In this study, sintered pellets of (U$$_{0.95-y}$$Gd$$_{0.05}$$Zr$$_{y}$$)O$$_{2-x}$$ (y=0,0.5, 2-x=1.989-2.000) were melted and solidified to prepare specimens of simulated corium debris. Phase states and fundamental properties of them were evaluated.
