JAEA-Data-Code-2019-015.pdf:2.09MB

Decay heat from radioactive elements in high-level liquid waste (HLLW) and separated solutions in partitioning process was evaluated as a basic data for safety assessment of partitioning process. In the evaluation of HLLW from spent UO$$_{2}$$ fuel burned-up to 45 GWd/t in light water reactor, decay heat value from fission products decreased as the cooling period become longer but heat from actinides, Am and Cm, was almost constant until 50-year cooling. Decay heat density in solutions of Am, Cm and rare earth elements and of Am and Cm without concentration for volume reduction does not exceed the heat density of HLLW, but the concentration should be required to minimize the scale of the partitioning process. Separated solution of Am and Cm must be concentrated to convert the two elements to a solid state to make fuel for transmutation, and the decay heat density of the concentrated solution of Am and Cm is 10 times higher compared with the Pu solution of same element concentration. Higher burn-up UO$$_{2}$$ fuel and MOX fuel in light water reactor and minor-actinide-recycled MOX fuel in fast reactor were also considered and the evaluated decay heat was compared among the spent fuels.

JNC-TN8400-2001-008.pdf:2.92MB

Research on geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste(HLW) has been underway in many countries. Bentonite exhibiting a low permeability, high swelling property and high sorption capacity for many radioelements is proposed as a buffer material in many countlies. Recently, cementitious materials are considered as candidate matelials for the geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste. As the pH and the Ca, Na, K contents of hyperalkaline pore water from the cementitious materials are high, this hyperalkaline pore water would alter the buffer material. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of alkaline pore water into the bentonite. Used materials are montmorillonite, albite and quartz composing bentonite. These minerals mixed in a constant ratio (1:1wt%) made to react to distilled water and the alkali solutions (pH11-13). These studies have been conducted at temperatures of 50 - 150$$^{circ}$$C and run times of 10 - 200 day. XRD(X-ray powder diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analyses were applied to studying the structure and quantitative data of each sample. From the result of this study, the main formed mineral of this experiment was analcime, which showed the tendency with a large amount of generation at a higher pH and temperature. Quantitative data of this study was conducted by X-ray powder diffraction method. THe order of the amount of the second analcime in each experiment is shown in the following. Montmorillonite and albite mixing test $$>$$ Montmorillonite test $$>$$ Montmorillonite and quartz mixing test Activation energies (E$$_{a}$$) using the quantitative data of each test are shown in the following. (1)Montmorillonite test : 54.9kJ/mol (2)Montmorillonite and albite mixing test : 51.9kJ/mol (3)Montmorillonite and quartz mixing test : 59.6kJ/mol

The commercial detergents, which are cleansing cream, shampoo, neutral detergent, etc., were examined in order to select the body cleaners that are substitutes for the titanium dioxide paste. JNC entrusted Japan Environment Research Corporation Limited with these examinations since 1997. In 1997 and 1998, the commercial detergents were examined for Ce-144, Cs-137 and Ru-106. In 1999, 22 detergents were examined for Co-60 from the result of the past examinations. In this examination, the radioactive solution of Co-60 was dropped on the pig-skin samples. These samples were washed with each detergent after 5 minutes and 40 minutes. The decontamination factors of detergents were estimated by the radioactive ratio of the samples before and after washing. As a result of this examination, the decontamination factors for Co-60 was the same as the decontamination factors for Ce-144 and Cs-137, and 11 detergents were nominated as the cleaner that have the decontamination factor more than that of titanium dioxide paste.

In general, it is very difficult to evaluate the residual state of metallic iron and the original shape of iron-base archaeological artifacts, as these are covered by thick oxide films formed in the ground during over several hundred years. The purpose of this research is to quantify the corrosion of an artifact such as base, knife, and nail, which was digged out of the relics about 500-1,000 years old. (1)The outer oxide film layer and the inner metallic iron can be quantitatively divided by using X-ray CT method. Furthermore, the original surfaces of artifacts can be estimated from the obtained images, even if the metallic iron has corroded completely. The X-ray CT images were also compared with those obtained by X-ray transmission inspection. (2)The corrosion amounts and rates were evaluated on the basis of thicknesses, densities, and iron concentrations of oxide films. (3)The characteristic differences between ancient iron and modern carbon steel were evaluated by analyzing the ancient iron slag.

In the fast reactor the swelling of the fuel cladding occur due to the irradiation. Under the irradiation, the temperature gradient of the cladding through the direction of its thickness causes the swelling gradient and this will cause the secondary stress. In this study, we analyzed this secondary stress using the finite element model of the irradiation induced deformation of the cladding by FINAS code. The result of this analysis is summarized as follows. (1)The secondary stress is mainly caused by the gradient of the incubation period of the swelling, The secondary stress becomes very small at the end of irradiation due to the relieving of the stress by the irradiation creep deformation accelerated by the swelling. (2)The calculated maximum stress including the secondary stress under the irradiation is compared with the design value of the ultimate tensile strength for PNC316 for trial. The calculated value are lower than the design value. (3)The effect of the swelling accelerated by the stress is analyzed using the correlation between the swelling and the stress. The result shows that the increasing of the secondary stress due to the acceleration of the swelling is very small because the irradiation creep deformation relieves the stress more effectively by the acceleration of the irradiation creep rate due to the swelling.

Four kinds of diffusion experiments; (1)through-diffusion(T-D) experiments for compaction direction dependency, (2)in-diffusion(I-D) experiments for composition dependency of silica sand in bentonite, (3)I-D experiments for initial bentonite gain size dependency, and (4)I-D experiments for the restoration property of an artificial single fracture in compacted bentonite, were carried out using tritiated water which is a non-sorbing nuclide to evaluate the effect of pore structural factors for eompacted bentonite on diffudion. For(1), effective diffusivities (De) in Na-bentonites, Kunigel-V1 and Kunipia-F were measured for 1.0 and 1.5 Mg$$cdot$$m$$^{-3}$$. For(2), apparent diffusivities (Da) in Kunigel-V1 were measured for 0.8, 1.4 and 1.8 Mg$$cdot$$m$$^{-3}$$ with silica sand of 30 and 50 wt%. For(3), Da values for 0.8, 1.4 and 1.8 Mg$$cdot$$m$$^{-3}$$ were measured for a granulated Na-bentonite, OT-9607 which grain-size distribution is in a rang between 0.1 and 5 mm. For (4), Da values in Kunigel-V1 which a single fracture was artificially reproduced and was immersed in distilled water for 7 or 28 days for the restoration of the fracture, were measured for 1.8 Mg$$cdot$$m$$^{-3}$$. Although De values in Kunigel-V1 were approximately the same for both compacted directions over the density, De values for perpendicular direction to compacted direction were higher than those for the same direction as compacted direction in Kunipia-F. For composition dependency of silica sand in bentonite, no significant effect of the mixure of silica sand in bentonite on Da was found. For initial bentonite grain size dependency, Da values obtained for OT-960 were approximately the same as those for Kunigel-V1 and no effect of initial grain size of bentonite on diffusion was found. For the restoration property of a single fracture in compacted bentonite, no restoration period dependency on Da was found. Based on this, it may be said that diffusion of nuclides in compacted bentonite, ...

Integrity evaluations have been performed for the 2nd Fugen pressure tube test (8 years irradiation, 5.6 $$times$$ 10$$^{21}$$n/cm$$^{2}$$ (E$$>$$1Mev)). Test items mainly consist of tensile test, bending test, corrosion test and hydrogen analysis. It has become clear using these data that the pressure tube material has maintained its integrity during the irradiation by the integrity assessment on both tensile and fracture toughness properties. Besides, both thickness loss by corrosion and absorbed hydrogen content were lower than those of design values.
