The corrosion is obviously more advanced in a specimen which has grain boundary carbide than in the one that does not. A considerable reason of the result is that the carbide distributed at grain boundaries promoted the corrosion reaction and the corrosion extended along the grain boundary. This is the first case in which the Cs-Te corrosion depth dependence on distribution of chromium carbide precipitation in Fe-Cr steel is clarified experimentally.

The present report summarizes the results of a 2-year cooperative study between JAEA and Hitachi-GE in order to contribute to the settlement of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants which suffered from the severe accident on March 2011. In the present study, the possible scenarios to reach the recriticality events in Fukushima-Daiichi were investigated first. Then, the analytical methodology to evaluate the time-dependent recriticality events has been developed by modelling the reactivity insertion rate and the possible feedback according to the recriticality scenarios identified in the first step. The methodology developed here has been equipped as a transient simulation tool, PORCAS, which is operated on a multi-purpose platform for reactor analysis, MARBLE. Finally, the radiation exposure rates by the postulated recriticality events in Fukushima-Daiichi were approximately evaluated to estimate the impact to the public environment.

Noble gas isotopes in three rocky grains from Itokawa have been determined. High concentrations of solar He, Ne, and Ar, as high as those in lunar soils, are released at variable temperatures from each sample. The isotopic compositions are essentially identical to those of solar wind but distinguishable in He relative abundance. These noble gas characteristics can be explained by repeated implantation and preferential loss of solar He by removal of weathered He-rich rim on the grain surface through friction among regolith grains on Itokawa. Residence time of regolith materials on Itokawa is alculated to be shorter than 10 Myr, suggesting that regolith materials of small asteroids would escape easily to space.

The major target performance of the SG for commercialized FBR is not only economic performance but also property protection performance. The straight double wall tube SG is one of the SG candidates for commercialized FBR, and other SG concepts were studied in this paper. In proposing an alternative SG, alternative technological measures with a double wall tube were investigated and included reinforcing the tube against wastage and quick detection of initial tube leaks. Alternative SG concept candidates for preventing tube failure propagation and mitigation of water leak accidents were proposed through a combination of technological measures. At the end of JFY 2010, the straight double wall tube SG will be decided upon as the result of R&D activities, and alternative SGs evaluated in feasibility studies. A plan for studying feasibility with the technological issues of the alternative SG was proposed.

O. From electron diffraction measurements at room temperature, ionic ordering of Fe
and Cu
in the a-b plane was observed. This ordering is similar to that in LuFeO and has an electric dipole. The observation of small domains (5-10 nm) indicates the presence of polar regions. Dielectric measurements showed that a peak of dielectric constant appeared at around 500 K, and the peak value was about 1000, indicating that LuFeCuO is a dielectric material. We will present the experimental data on the samples prepared under high-pressure oxygen.

As a candidate for next generation reactor, the innovative FLexible-fuel-cycle Water Reactor (FLWR) adopts a remarkably tight triangular lattice arrangement with about 1 mm gap spacing between adjacent fuel rods. In relation to its design, this study presents a statistical evaluation of numerical simulation results of a detailed two-phase flow simulation code (named TPFIT). In order to make clear mechanisms of cross flow in such tight lattice rod bundles, the TPFIT is used to simulate cross flow between two modeled subchannels. Attention was focused on instantaneous fluctuation characteristics of differential pressure between two subchannels and gas/liquid mixing coefficients. With the calculation of correlation coefficients between the differential pressure and gas/liquid mixing coefficients, the time scales of cross flow, e.g. lag times were evaluated, and the effects of mixing section length, flow pattern and gap spacing on correlation coefficients were extensively investigated. The difference in mechanism between gas and liquid cross flows was pointed out.

The innovative Water Reactor for FLexible fuel cycle (FLWR) adopts a tight triangular lattice arrangement with about 1 mm gap between adjacent fuel rods. In view of the importance of accurate prediction of cross flow between subchannels in the evaluation of the boiling transition (BT) in the FLWR core, this study numerically simulated steam-water two-phase cross flow between two modeled subchannels of tight-lattice rod bundle for the FLWR by using a detailed two-phase flow simulation code with an advanced interface tracking method (named TPFIT), statistically evaluated the simulation results, and clarified mechanisms of cross flow for developing a model. The effects of flow pattern, inlet and outlet of mixing section, and gap spacing on cross flow, and the local and general characters of cross flow were extensively investigated.

The research concerning new cladding materials for ultra-high burnup of fuel elements with MOX fuels aiming at 100 GWd/t of BWR was pursued for 5 years from 2001 to 2005. On the Phase 1, the modified stainless steel of Fe-25Cr-35Ni-0.2Ti as fuel claddings and Nb-Mo alloy as a liner for inhibiting the pellet- clad interaction were selected as candidate materials, by evaluating fundamental properties required to BWR cladding materials, that are the nuclear economy, radioactivity, mass-transfer, irradiation properties, mechanical properties so on. On the present study, the making process of cladding tubes, lining by diffusion bonding, end plug by laser welding were developed and optimized, by considering the practical use of fuel elements consists of these candidates. The practical applicability was basically examined by irradiation tests using the accelerator of TIARA and the research reactor of JRR-3, for mainly confirming the resistance to IGSCC as one of the current important issues of BWR core materials of low carbon grade stainless steels. Creep and fatigue testing data were also obtained for evaluating the long performance of candidate materials. The behavior as fuel elements was analyzed with the safety calculation code for BWRs. The obtained results were established as a data base system, by considering the applicability to the fuel design and in-pile loop tests.

The IASCC and loss of ductility concerning new cladding materials for ultra-high burnup of fuel elements with MOX fuels aiming at 100GWd/t of BWR was performed after neutron irradiation. The specimens machined from tubes made of Fe-25Cr-35Ni-0.2Ti UHP and SUS304 were irradiated at 290
C up to 1.8dpa(1.5
10
n/m
) in JRR-3. The ultimate tensile strength of both specimens increased and the fracture elongation decreased in tensile test at 288C. The loss of ductility was almost equal with data of previous literatures. IASCC was recognized on SUS304 by SSRT testing under high temperature water, but not on Fe-25Cr-35Ni-0.2Ti UHP.
