It is planned that the MOX (Mixed Oxide) from the decommissioned facilities in Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories is going to be consolidated and stored stably and safely for a long term in Plutonium Fuel Production Facility of the Plutonium Fuel Development Center of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories. For this purpose, it is necessary to pelletize nuclear fuel materials in the facility and store them in the assembly storage (hereinafter referred to as "waste packaging work") to secure storage space in the plutonium material storage. As a countermeasure to reduce the facility risk in this waste packing work, it was decided to construct a new powder weighing and homogenization mixing facility to physically limit the amount (batch size) of nuclear fuel materials handled at the entrance of the process. In order to secure the installation space for the new facility in the powder preparation room (1) (FP-101), the pre-dismantling temporary waste storage facility 3 (FPG-03a, b, c) was dismantled and removed. This facility consists of a granulating and sizing facility, an additive mixing facility, and a receiving and delivering guided facility, which started to be used from January 1993, and was discontinued on February 3, 2012 and became a waste facility. Subsequently, the dismantling and removal of the interior equipment was carried out by pellet fabrication section for glove operation to reduce the amount of hold-up, and before the main dismantling and removal, there was almost no interior equipment except for large machinery. This report describes the dismantling and removal of the glove box and some interior equipment and peripherals of the facility, as well as the Green House setup method, dismantling and removal procedures, and issues specific to powder process equipment (dust, etc.).

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:72.48(Chemistry, Analytical)A new HCl-free chromatographic separation procedure has been developed for sequential separation of Zr and Mo from concrete matrices. Accordingly, Zr and
Mo could be sensitively and selectively measured by ICP-MS/MS using ammonia reaction gas. The recoveries of greater than 90% for Zr and Mo from concretes could be achieved. The measurement condition was optimized for complete suppression of interferences from
Nb and peak tailing from abundant isotopes of Zr and Mo in concrete matrices. The removal of interferences was verified by measurement of radio-contamination-free concretes used as a sample matrix blank. Method detection limits of 1.7 mBq g
and 0.2 Bq g
were achieved for
Zr and
Mo, respectively, in the concrete matrices. The interference removal factor for Nb (equivalent to the decontamination factor in radiochemical separation) was of the order of 10
, and the abundance sensitivity was of the order of 10
, indicating that the developed method is reliable for verifying the presence of ultralow concentrations of
Zr and
Mo. The present method is suitable for the rapid assessment of
Zr and
Mo for radioactivity inventory of concrete rubble.

We have carried out direct energy conversion from gamma rays to electricity using SiC free of toxic elements. The experiments were done using synchrotron radiation at the BL22XU beamline. To utilize radioactive wastes as an energy source, the gamma ray energies were 30 and 60 keV, corresponding to the energies from Np and
Am, respectively. Also, CuK
X-rays were used to show a possibility of micro batteries using radioisotopes. The samples were Ni/SiC Schottky barrier junctions. From dark current experiments, it was found that the samples were regarded as ideal diodes on the basis of the so-called ideality factors. The electric powers under gamma rays and X-rays were found to be about 0.1
W, corresponding to efficiencies less than 0.1%. We will also show the results of energy depositions on the basis of Monte Carlo methods.

The newly developed Plastic enclosure tents have reliable airtightness and can be set up in a short time with the small number of persons. Also, in order to prevent the spread of contamination, the exhaust device secures the internal airflow line, and the radiation management device measures the concentration of radioactive materials in the air are in real time. Furthermore, by setting up a multiple of evacuation routes, the decontamination time is shortened even when there are many contaminated persons. Therefore, it is possible to quickly evacuate the contaminated person by having both radiation safety and setting up that can quickly respond to a large-scale body contamination accident.

The paper presents removal of possible interferences including from an isobar (Nb) and tailings of adjacent peaks for the quantification of
Zr and
Mo using an ICP-MS/MS (Agilent 8900). By using ammonia gas (NH
) as a reaction gas,
Zr and
Mo can be separated from each other and from
Nb owing to the different reactions of those elements with the reaction gas. Based on the characterization results, we propose a measurement scheme aiming at quantification of
Zr and
Mo in environmental samples collected at adjacent location of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

In order to simplify the analysis of Zr and
Mo in radioactive waste from conventional radiation measurement, we have considered analysis method combining solid-phase extraction and ICP-MS/MS. In this presentation, we report the results of a study on sequential chemical separation of Zr and Mo from Nb and sample matrix using ZR resin as a solid-phase extraction resin.
