Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:50.23(Nuclear Science & Technology)A flexible waste management system (FWM) is being developed to apply future MA partitioning and transmutation (P&T) technology to current HLLW. This FWM system will store high-level waste (HLLW) in granular form until MA partitioning and transmutation technology is realized. The feasibility of the main process was essentially confirmed by basic experiments and preliminary thermal analysis for granule production by rotary kiln from simulated HLLW and for temporary storage (50 years) of HLW granules at the HLW storage facility, respectively. The granule production experiments revealed that relatively large particles can be produced by the rotary kiln. The results of the thermal analysis showed that the small diameter canisters could be used to safely store the granules at a higher storage density than vitrified HLW. The effectiveness of the FWM system in terms of potential radiotoxicity and repository area was also evaluated, and it was shown that FWM can reduce these factors and has significant advantages in the disposal of HLW generated in current reprocessing plants. Since LWR fuel is stored for a long period of time in Japan and the operation of a reprocessing plant is expected to start soon, the FWM system is considered to be an effective system for reducing the environmental burden of HLW disposal.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:43.79(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)We show that boron-doped epitaxial graphene can be successfully grown by thermal decomposition of a boron carbide thin film, which can also be epitaxially grown on a silicon carbide substrate. The interfaces of B
C on SiC and graphene on B
C had a fixed orientation relation, having a local stable structure with no dangling bonds. The first carbon layer on B
C acts as a buffer layer, and the overlaying carbon layers are graphene. Graphene on B
C was highly boron doped, and the hole concentration could be controlled over a wide range of 2

. Highly boron-doped graphene exhibited a spin-glass behavior, which suggests the presence of local antiferromagnetic ordering in the spin-frustration system. Thermal decomposition of carbides holds the promise of being a technique to obtain a new class of wafer-scale functional epitaxial graphene for various applications.

As part of the development of safety design technologies for sodium-cooled fast reactor coupled to thermal energy storage system with nitrate molten salt heat exchanger, we are considering optimization of heat exchanger type and measures to improve heat transfer. We have confirmed the effect of the heat transfer performance improvement, for which we conducted Computational Fluid Dynamics analyses with the analytical model of the selected heat exchanger type.
