On March 11, 2011, a severe nuclear accident occurred at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)'s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (hereinafter called as F1). After the accident, the Council for the Decommissioning was established, mainly by the government and TEPCO, and a road map for the F1 decommissioning was drawn up. In the road map, the fuel debris removal from the reactors is scheduled to launch around 2020. In this study, the characteristics and technological issues of each potential treatment scenario were extracted, and the scenarios were prioritized in advance of formal evaluations in the future. The preliminary evaluation results show that long term storage and direct disposal have more positive aspects in terms of economic efficiency and radioactive waste generation. On the other hand, stabilizing processing, aqueous processing, and pyrochemical processing have been estimated to have more disadvantages in such aspects.

Pu(NO
)
was evaluated in the U crystallization process. The solubility of Cs
Pu(NO
)
in a uranyl nitrate solution was found to decrease with increasing HNO
concentration in the solution. In the U crystallization experiments with the dissolver solution of irradiated fast reactor fuel, Cs
Pu(NO
)
formed with 6.5 mol/dm
HNO
concentration in the mother liquor, and the decontamination factor of Cs for the uranyl nitrate hexahydrate crystals was low. Meanwhile, Cs
Pu(NO
)
did not precipitate with uranyl nitrate hexahydrate crystals under the condition of 4.0 mol/dm
HNO
concentration in the mother liquor, and Cs could be separated from the uranyl nitrate hexahydrate crystals.

In terms of preventing the formation of Pu and Cs compound, Cs in the feed solution should decrease in the U crystallization process. In order to separate Cs contained within irradiated nuclear fuel, the immersion experiments were carried out with the pure water and diluted HNO solution. The elusion ratio of Cs within the powdered fuel in the pure water and 0.1 mol/dm
HNO
solution after 67 h was 33.8 and 38.3%, respectively. The experimental results suggest a possible beneficial effect of Cs elusion by immersion of the powdered fuel in the pure water and diluted HNO
solution before the fuel dissolution process.

As a part of FaCT project, Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been developing a U crystallization process for advanced aqueous reprocessing technology in collaboration with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. We have carried out experimental studies and obtained fundamental data. Continuous operation tests were also carried out by an engineering-scale crystallizer to confirm productivity of the equipment and to investigate non-steady state conditions. The requirements for the U crystallization process in the FaCT project could be achieved except DF of Cs. More detail investigation is under way to settle the process condition without Pu-Cs double salt formation.

To investigate solubility properties of Cs contained within irradiated fast reactor fuel, immersion experiments were carried out with pure water and diluted HNO solutions. The elution ratio of Cs from a powdered fuel and sheared tube was evaluated, and basic data were obtained for the Cs separation process.

Solubility obtained from the latest crystallization tests using irradiated fuel and the tests implemented before using U or Pu/U are compared with the data showed by Hart. Based on the result, availability of the data to estimate crystallization ratio is considered.
