In the accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Co. accompanying the Great East Japan Earthquake, fuel assemblies kept in the spent fuel pool of reactor units 1-4, were exposed to the inconceivable environment such as falling and mixing of rubble, especially seawater were injected into unit 2-4. In order to evaluate the integrity of the fuel assemblies in spent fuel pools, and in the long-term storage after transported to the common storage pool, the immersion tests were performed using zircaloy-2 fuel cladding tubes irradiated in the advanced thermal reactor Fugen. The immersion liquid was prepared with doubling dilution of artificial seawater, which temperature was 80 C and immersion time was about 336 hours, as assuming the situation of the pool. The results indicated zircaloy-2 cladding tubes had no significant corrosion and no influence on mechanical property by immersion tests with artificial seawater conditions of this work.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:53.54(Instruments & Instrumentation)A prototype YAG laser system for the edge Thomson scattering system in ITER has been newly developed. Performance of the laser amplifier was improved by using flow tubes made of samarium-doped glass; the small signal gain reached 20 at its maximum. As a result, an output energy of 7.66 J at 100 Hz was successfully achieved, and the performance exceeded the target performance (5 J, 100 Hz).

, the effect of oxide ion concentration was well controlled on the distribution coefficients of Am and Ce. The separation factor between Am and Ce was then obtained to be about 100. By comparing the present value with the other experimental and the predicted ones, it was confirmed that the Ga system was more selective than the Bi and Cd system.

Times Cited Count:40 Percentile:92.77(Nuclear Science & Technology)The excess thermodynamic quantities of lanthanides and actinides in molten salts and liquid metals were studied for reductive extraction of minor actinides. The excess enthalpies and entropies of those elements in the molten chloride phase were found to be correlated with the ionic radii of metal ions possibly due to complex formation. In the liquid metal phase, on the other hand, the excess enthalpies were explained with Miedema's atomistic model and the excess entropies were explained with the vibrational entropy due to alloy formation. Using these correlations and models, some missing values of the excess thermodynamic quantities were evaluated and the separation factors of minor actinides from lanthanides were calculated in different reductive extraction systems. The higher separation factors were obtained in the system using aluminum or gallium than in the system using bismuth or cadmium as the liquid metal phase.

Progress in ITER diagnostics development in Japan is presented. (1) Micro Fission Chamber: A bending test of the mineral insulated cable has been carried out since its smallest bending radius would be 12 cm in the vacuum vessel. It has been confirmed that no damage has been observed even at the bending radius is small as 10 cm. (2) Thomson Scattering (Edge): It has been confirmed that the prototype YAG laser amplifier satisfies the target performance of ITER requirement. (3) Poloidal Polarimeter: Study of retro-reflectors in the first wall modules and the divertor cassette has been progressed. (4) Impurity Influx Monitor (Divertor): Mechanical designs of mirror box and optical shutter in the divertor cassette have been designed. (5) Upper Port Plug: For the generic design of the upper port plug (UPP), mesh modeling of UPP has been performed for the E-M analysis. Application of HIP (Hot Isostatic Press) method for manufacturing of UPP has been proposed.

Structural materials in nuclear plants are affected to aging degradation and irradiation damage. Nondestructive measurement of materials damage is a preferred method for the diagnosis of nuclear plants. The previous studies are focused on magnetic property, which is able to measure by nondestructive and sensitive for microstructure and variation of local chemical compositions. However, whole sample is needed to magnetize by large magnets in the previous method, and the sample is easily influenced by magnetic flux at the edge of sample. This issue makes magnetic method difficult to apply to nuclear plants. The pointing magnetization technique was developed for a local magnetization of samples with a small magnet. It is the first time to apply this method on austenitic stainless steels for fast reactor structural material. The measurement results show that austenitic steels have increased magnetic flux density as dose increases. And magnetic flux density is dependent on irradiation temperature. These results indicate pointing magnetize technique suggested the possibility of the irradiation damage evaluation of austenitic stainless steel.
