We describe a new chipping technique combined with a water-jet technique as one of the candidate techniques for the retrieval of fuel debris and support structures as part of the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. We performed proof-of-principle experiments to demonstrate the removal capability of metal parts, where we focused on the observation of removal processes from a metallic sample using a 5.5-kW continuous wave fiber laser combined with continuous and pulsed water jets.

Challenge towards the decommissioning of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant coupled with recovery of Fukushima

Daido, Hiroyuki

Reza Kenkyu, 45(3), p.135 - 136, 2017/03

I describe how important the challenge to Fukushima Daiichi and recovery of this area. From this point of view, scientific and technological trials originated from the disaster and accident should be based on the mission of Fukushima recovery.

Naraha Remote Technology Development Center is open for various users to contribute to recovery of the coast area of Fukushima as well as the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The center is located within a distance of 20 km from the Fukushima Daiichi station. This is the first development center funded by the Government near the Fukushima Daiichi. Many people expect that the center plays a significant role to contribute to the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi and recovery of Fukushima area from the hazards. The author describe details of the facility and our plan.

A short pulse laser (the nanosecond and femtosecond) was applied to hydrogen absorbing alloys surface layer, and a surface modification experiment was put into effective to aim at improvement of hydrogen adsorption functionally. It was investigated about correlation between an initial hydrogen absorption reaction rate of hydrogen alloys and a laser irradiation in this research. The laser irradiation condition was done with pulse width 100 fsec and energy 0.2 - 3.4 mJ/pulse. It blazed down on hydrogen absorbing alloys (LaNiAl) and changed local order in the surface. As a result, the initial hydrogen absorption reaction rate was 1.5 - 3.0 times as fast as a irradiated sample, and the result and laser irradiated sample found out that a hydrogen absorption function improves. A laser irradiation can conclude to be effective in surface modification of the hydrogen storage materials.

Heat resistant FBG sensors were developed by femtosecond laser processing to apply them to high temperature operated piping system of nuclear power plants. The FBG sensor was installed on the surface of a steel blade and a vibration test was conducted to detect the resonant vibration frequency of the vibrating blade. The FBG sensor had the heatproof performance at 600C. A frequency stabilized sensing system using a tunable laser was tested for structural health monitoring in daily operation of nuclear power plants. The FBG sensor was installed on the surface of a steel blade for vibration induced strain measurements. Welding, brazing, soldering and noble metal powder adhesive were discussed for molding the FBG sensors.
