被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.01(Materials Science, Ceramics)Herein, a science-based uranium and plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) property model (Sci-M Pro) is derived for determining properties of MOX fuel and analyzing their performance as functions of Pu content, minor-actinide content, oxygen-to-metal ratio, and temperature. The property model is constructed by evaluating the effect of phonons and electronic defects on heat capacity and thermal conductivity of MOX fuels. The effect of phonons was evaluated based on experimental datasets related to lattice parameter, thermal expansion, and sound speeds. Moreover, the effect of electronic defects was determined by analyzing oxygen-potential data based on defect chemistry. Furthermore, the model evaluated the effect of the Bredig transition on the thermal properties of MOX fuel by analyzing the irradiation test results. The derived property model is applied to the performance code to analyze fast reactor fuel pins.

JAEA has been working on development of extraction chromatography technology for recovery of trivalent minor actinides (MA(III)) from high-level radioactive waste generated in reprocessing of spent fuel. The technology utilizes porous silica particles with about 50 micrometre diameter for support of adsorbents. Pressure drop of the packed column depends on characteristics of the particle. Large pressure drop of the column is not favorable for safety assessment of the technology although a certain level of the pressure drop is indispensable for excellent separation performance. In this study, we applied a granulation technique using a spray dryer that is widely used in industry, and conducted experiments to find the optimal specifications for silica support particles and conditions for the granulation operation. A basic characterization of the adsorbent prepared from the produced particles was carried out by an adsorption test of simulated high level liquid waste.

Nuclear fuel fabrication process has generated a large amount of wastes contaminated with enriched uranium, and those have been accumulated for long time in Japan. These waste hasn't treated, because there is no protocol to treat and dispose these. Procedure is proposed; 1) Leaching Uranium from the waste, 2) recovering uranium from the leaching solution, 3) treating residue and secondary waste for disposing in the near field region. Temperature swing extraction technology is one of promising methods to recover uranium efficiently. In the technology, uranium ions are extracted by extraction, and complex with ligands are separated by a polymer with reversible hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties. Monoamides can be adopted to the procedure. However suitable structure of monoamide for the technology is unclear. Therefore, for deciding appropriate structure of monoamides, these with different alkyl chain structures were synthesized, and applicability of the extractants were evaluated by solvent extraction and temperature swing extraction experiments. In experiments, Ce(IV) was used as a simulant of U(IV). Three monoamides were synthesized, and solvent extraction experiments and Temperature swing extraction experiments were carried out.

Various types of machine oil are used for analysis and utility equipment, and these organic liquid wastes are stored in nuclear facilities and laboratories. Perfluoro oil, generally used in vacuum pumps, is difficult to decompose because of its chemical stability. In order to achieve complete mineralization of the organic liquid wastes, the application of a subcritical water reaction was examined. In this study, the effect of introducing a functional group into a perfluoro compound on its decomposition performance was experimentally evaluated. First, we carried out the transformation of perfluorohexane to perfluorohexyl iodide or perfluoroheptanoic acid based on reported procedures. Next, laboratory scale batchwise decomposition tests with subcritical water on perfluorohexyl iodide and on perfluoro heptanoic acid were carried out. The decomposition products of each fluorine compound were identified, confirming that subcritical treatment is a promising treatment method.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：63.33(Instruments & Instrumentation)Spent PUREX solvent, which mainly consists of tributyl phosphate (TBP) and normal dodecane, is generated by solvent extraction of Plutonium and Uranium in the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. One of the treatment options for storage of the spent solvent is adsorption of the liquid into vermiculite. The organic liquid is considered to be trapped between layers of the vermiculite. Our previous experiments on the adsorption of spent solvent into the vermiculite have shown that some parts of loaded solvent gradually leaked out from the vermiculite. In order to investigate the adsorption mechanism and capacity, elution behavior of the loaded solvent into organic diluents were evaluated. A part of the loaded solvent was easily leaked into the diluent, while some solvent remained inside the particle even after the leaching test. In this study, the adsorption capacity of the vermiculite was evaluated through amount of remaining solvent after washing with diluents. The amount of the remaining solvent was analyzed by Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) on P contained in TBP. Peak intensity of P-K
line depended on the washing condition, and the behavior of the amount of change in adsorbed P atom qualitatively agreed with the results of the leaching test.

mのラスターピッチのレーザー走査で作製されたパターンでは焼結領域が観察され、表面から1.72mを除き、原料のSiCナノ粒子の酸化に有意な差は見られなかった。これらの結果からフェムト秒レーザーパルスの照射は熱の蓄積が少ないため、原料の大気酸化を受けることなく焼結SiCパターンが生成できることが示された。また、X線光電子分光法によって分散剤であるポリビニルピロリドン及びエチレングリコールは焼結に影響を及ぼさないことがわかった。したがって、この真空フリー直接描画技術は積層造形に適用できる可能性がある。

JAEA has been working on development of extraction chromatography technology for recovery of trivalent minor actinides (MA(III): Am, Cm) from high-level radioactive waste generated in reprocessing of spent fuel. The technology utilizes porous silica particles with about 50 micrometre diameter for support of adsorbents. The particles are coated by styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, and an extractant for MA recovery is impregnated into the polymer. Pressure drop of the packed column depends on characteristics of the particle (diameter, uniformity and pore size). Large pressure drop of the column is not favorable for safety assessment of the technology although a certain level of the pressure drop is indispensable for excellent separation performance. In this study, spray drying granulation experiments and fundamental characterization of the product particle were carried out to find optimal specs of the particle and conditions of the granulation operation.

-SiO co-doped ceria specimens were prepared by conventional ceramic processing using powder metallurgy. The effect of co-doping on the microstructural and structural properties of cerium dioxide was investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The co-addition of alumina and silica promoted liquid phase sintering (LPS) and significantly contributed to grain growth, even in the small concentrations of the present study (1 wt% and 2 wt%). A glassy-look phase precipitated at the grain boundaries, characteristic of liquid phase sintering. The addition of dopants to the formulation greatly enhanced the grain growth process without disturbing the CeO structure.

UOの酸素ポテンシャル及び酸素拡散係数は燃料性能に大きな影響を与えるため、多くの実験データが取得されてきた。しかしながら、1673 K以上の高温領域における酸素ポテンシャル及び酸素拡散係数のデータは非常に少ない。本研究ではこれらのデータを取得し、欠陥化学によって解析することを目的とした。1673-1873 Kにおける定比組成近傍のUOの酸素ポテンシャル及び酸素化学拡散係数を気相平衡法によって測定した。測定した酸素ポテンシャルと文献値のデータを欠陥化学により解析し、UOの酸素ポテンシャルを温度及びO/U比の関数として定式化した。本研究で得られた酸素化学拡散係数は文献値との比較から妥当な値と判断された。酸素ポテンシャルの測定結果から酸素化学拡散係数は酸素分圧依存性を有することが推測されたが、実験データから明確な依存性は確認できなかった。

This study evaluates oxygen self-diffusion and chemical diffusion coefficients of fluorite-type oxides CeO, ThO, UO, PuO, and (U, Pu) O using point defect concentration, oxygen vacancies, and interstitial oxygen. The self-diffusion coefficient changed in proportion to the 1/n power of oxygen partial pressure, which is similar to the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the defect concentration. All parameters used to represent the diffusion coefficients were determined, and the experimental data were accurately stated. The chemical diffusion coefficient was much higher at O/M = 2.00 than in low O/M oxides. In the reduction process, the chemical diffusion control rate was dominant, and a new phase with O/M = 2.00 was formed, and it expanded from the surface in the oxidation process from a low O/M ratio to O/M = 2.00.

For the SiC/graphite FGC, the mixing parameters of ceramics powders and ultraviolet (UV) curing resin are improved, and correlations of the resultant slurry curing depth with integrated light intensity are discovered. Therefore, the SiC/graphite FGC-produced green body has no flaws, pores, or cracks on its surfaces. According to the association between cure depth and integrated light density for each slurry's composition, several interfacial collapses discovered in a cracked cross-section might be decreased.

Although incineration and denitrification/conversion processes are promising for treating such liquid waste, the installation of large equipment is essential. To give appropriate treatment procedures for radioactive liquid waste generated in nuclear facilities, STRAD (Systematic Treatments of RAdioactive liquid wastes for Decommissioning) project was started by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) with several organizations. We are focusing on baker's yeasts for their excellent metal ions adsorption characteristics, easy handling and low prices. In order to optimize adsorption performance and operation procedures as the liquid waste treatment technology, adsorption performance of U has to be precisely investigated. In this study, adsorption performance of U and anion from nitric acid solution was investigated by batch-wise adsorption experiments.
