The decommissioning is currently in progress at the prototype fast breeder reactor Monju. Fuel assemblies will be taken out of its core for the first step of the great task. Fuel assemblies stand on their own spike plugged into a socket on the core support plate and support with adjacent assemblies through their housing pads each other, resulting in steady core structure. For this reason, some substitutive assemblies are necessary for the purpose of discharging the fuel assemblies of the core. Monju side commissioned, therefore, Plutonium Fuel Development Center to manufacture the substitutive assemblies and the Center accepted it. This report gives descriptions of design, manufacture, and shipment in regard to the substitutive assemblies.

Recently, development of superconducting magnet system with high radiation resistance has been demanded for application in accelerator facilities such as CERN LHC. In order to realize superconducting magnet system with high radiation resistance, it is necessary to develop electrical insulator with high radiation resistance because the electrical insulator is made of organic materials whose radiation resistance is inferior to that of inorganic materials. We developed a glass fiber reinforced plastic with bismaleimide-triazine resin. The developed material showed excellent radiation resistance; the material evolved gases of 5$$times$$10 $$^{-5}$$mol/g and maintained flexural strength of 640MPa (90% of initial value).

$$^{99m}$$Tc is generated by decay of $$^{99}$$Mo. Production of $$^{99}$$Mo is carried out by (n,f) method with high enriched uranium targets, and the production are currently producing to meet about 95% of global supply. Recently, it is difficult to carry out a stable supply for some problems such as aging of reactors etc. Furthermore, the production has difficulties in nuclear proliferation resistance etc. Thus, (n,$$gamma$$) method has lately attracted considerable attention. The (n,$$gamma$$) method has several advantages, but the extremely low specific activity makes its uses less convenient than (n,f) method. We proposed a method based on the solvent extraction, followed by adsorption of $$^{99m}$$Tc with alumina column. In this paper, a practical production of $$^{99m}$$Tc was tried by the method with 1Ci of $$^{99}$$Mo produced in MPR-30. The recovery yields were approximately 70%. Impurity of $$^{99}$$Mo was less than 4.0$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$% and the radiochemical purity was over 99.2%.

This research is development of $$^{99m}$$Tc production. $$^{99m}$$Tc is generated by decay of $$^{99}$$Mo. The supply of $$^{99}$$Mo in Japan depends entirely on the import from foreign countries. Thus, it is needed to supply $$^{99}$$Mo stably by the domestic manufacturing. A practical production of $$^{99m}$$Tc was tried by the method with 1 Ci of $$^{99}$$Mo produced in MPR-30. The results showed that the recovery yields were approximately 70%. The concentration of the product obtained was estimated to be corresponding to about 30 GBq (800 mCi)/ml when 150g of MoO$$_{3}$$ was irradiated for 5 days in MPR-30. Impurity of $$^{99}$$Mo was less than 4.4$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$%, which was lower than that of Japanese tentative regulation criteria. The radiochemical purity was higher than 99.8% that cleared the tentative regulation (95%) of Japan.

Radiation resistance of organic materials used in superconducting magnets for a 50 GeV - 750 kW proton beam line for the J-PARC neutrino experiment was studied with respect to mechanical properties. Specimens cooled at a liquid nitrogen temperature of 77 K were irradiated by $$gamma$$ rays. The flexural strength of glass-fiber reinforced plastics (GFRPs), the tear strength of polyimide films and the tensile strength of adhesive films were evaluated. It was verified that the organic materials used in the superconducting magnets have the sufficient radiation resistance, and the degradation of thier mechanical properties after the 10 years operation was estimated to be negligible.

Radiation resistance of polymeric materials used in the superconducting magnets installed for the J-PARC neutrino beam line was studied with respect to gas evolution. The polymeric materials were irradiated by $$gamma$$ rays at 77K. It was found that hydrogen gas evolved mainly from the polymeric materials, and the amount of hydrogen from whole superconducting magnet system per 1 year was estimated to be 0.37mol. This amount of hydrogen is low enough to be removed by a hydrogen absorbing apparatus. Therefore, the influence of hydrogen evolved from the magnet system on the operation of the helium purifying system can be negligible.

A string of superconducting magnets is to be set at an arc section of the J-PARC neutrino beam line. To keep the magnets at superconducting condition, a helium cryogenic facility is to be constructed. Parts of cryogenic devices are located beside the magnets, so thier resistance to radiation with predicted dose of 1 MGy in maximum must be assured. A cryogenic control valve is one of the active devices used in the radio-active area, and its radio-proof characteristics is improved by (1) exchaging intolerant materials by proof ones, (2) moving the feed back control circuit unit including electronics from the valve body to a low radio-active area. Two prototype valves, a tuning valve and a Gauzky relief valve, have been prepared and have been tested by using the Cobalt 60 irradiation facility in JAEA. Actual operations of the both prototypes have been checked at the irradiation test bench, and they were successfully operated after irradiation of 1 MGy.

Polyimide films and glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRPs) are used as insulating or structural materials for superconducting magnets in a neutrino beam line of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). It is indispensable to evaluate radiation resistance of these materials, because they are required to keep their electrical and mechanical properties in a high radiation field of 30 kGy/year at low temperature of 4 K. In this work, the gas evolution resulting from chemical reactions induced in the polyimide films and GFRPs by $$gamma$$ ray irradiation at 77 K was investigated. It was found that the main component of the evolved gas is hydrogen. The amount of hydrogen evolved from the superconducting magnet system used in the neutrino beam line was estimated to be 0.37 mol/year (0.01 L/year as the volume of liquid hydrogen). It indicates that the hydrogen evolved from the organic materials does not influence on the operation of the helium purifying system.

The JAERI FEL has recently discovered the new FEL lasing of 255fs ultra fast pulse, 6-9% high-efficiency, one gigawatt high peak power, a few kilowatts average power, and wide tunability of medium and far infrared wavelength regions at the same time. Using the new lasing and energy-recovery linac technology, we could extend a more powerful and more efficient free-electron laser (FEL) than 10kW and 25%, respectively, for nuclear industry, pharmacy, medical, defense, shipbuilding, semiconductor industry, chemical industries, environmental sciences, space-debris, power beaming and so on. In order to realize such a tunable, highly-efficient, high average power, high peak power and ultra-short pulse FEL, we need the efficient and powerful FEL driven by the JAERI compact, stand-alone and zero boil-off super-conducting RF linac with an energy-recovery geometry. Our discussions on the FEL will cover the application of non-thermal peeling, cutting, and drilling to decommission the nuclear power plants, and to prevent stress-corrosion cracking in nuclear industry and roadmap for the industrial FELs, the JAERI compact, stand-alone and zero-boil-off cryostat concept and operational experience, the new, highly-efficient, high-power, and ultra fast pulse lasing mode, and the energy-recovery geometry.

Prototype of the middleware for Grid project promoted by national institutes in Japan has been developed. Key technologies that are indispensable for construction of virtual organization were already implemented onto the prototype of middleware and examined in practical computer/network system from a view point of availability. In addition several kinds of scientific applications are being executed on the prototype system. It seems that successful result in the implementation of those technologies such as security infrastructure, component programming and collaborative visualization in practical computer/network systems means significant progress in Science Grid in Japan.

Irradiation effect on polymeric materials used in the superconducting magnets for the J-PARC neutrino beam line was studied with respect to gas evolution. The polymeric materials were irradiated by $$gamma$$-ray at 77K. It was found that hydrogen gas evolves mainly from the polymeric materials, and that the amount of hydrogen from whole superconducting magnet system per 1 year is 0.37mol. Furthermore, it was found that the amount of gas evolution increases with increasing in the storage time at room temperature after the irradiation at 77K.
