In a previous study, blanket, grain coarsenings were found in a mock-up around HIP-joined region. To verify an effect of the coarsenings on a strength of the HIP-joined region, tensile test and hardness measurement were done. As the results, the tensile strength increased by about 50 MPa, and the elongation decreased by about 4 % in comparison with that of a standard alloy. Though the hardness was almost constant both in the coarsening and a non-coarsening regions, both of these hardness increased by about 5 %. Therefore, it could be judged that change of the tensile property is due to increase of the hardness. On the other hand, tensile and impact tests of a base metal without coarsening resulted in DBTT increase by about 40 K, although the tensile property was nearly equal to that of the joined-region with coarsening. It can be understood that this is the effect of the heat treatments in the fabrication process of the mock-up.

In JAEA's Tokai Vitrification Facility (TVF) at Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) site, high level liquid waste (HLLW) generated from reprocessing of spent fuels is vitrified with a liquid-fed joule-heated ceramic melter (LFCM). As noble metals (NMs) in HLLW aren't soluble to the glass, and have low resistivity and higher density, they deposit on bottom of melter and form electrical path and thus disturb melter operation. The first and second TVF melter have square pyramidal shaped bottom and issue that NMs on the bottom are difficult to drain out and have to be removed periodically. To solve this issue, we are developing the third melter with conical shaped bottom. The effect of changing the bottom structure was confirmed by thermo-fluid analysis code. Structural optimization of strainer in the upper part of drain nozzle was carried out by visualization experiment. In this meeting, activity of third melter development including past melter structure will be introduced.
