Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：22.70(Materials Science, Ceramics)A method to control the millimeter-sized open porosity in geopolymer foam was attempted to produce hydrogen recombining supports for radioactive waste canisters. The raw materials were mixed with silicon powder as a foaming agent. Geopolymer foams with open porosities as high as 81% were obtained by a water bath treatment before pouring the slurry into the mold. The increase in the open porosity of geopolymer foam was observed by an increase in the water bath treatment time. It was thought that the viscosity of slurry increase induced the pores trapped inside the geopolymer foam and connected to form millimeter-sized and open pores. It was concluded that a simple method with a foaming agent and a water bath treatment to prepare geopolymer foams with high open porosity was developed.

A solidification technique with minimized water content is being developed using a phosphate cement for safe storage of secondary radioactive wastes in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. To understand the applicability of the solidification technique for the actual secondary wastes, phosphate cement during dehydration was irradiated by 
Co -ray. The G(H
) for the phosphate cement decreased with time during dehydration, and was not detected after 7 days. Moreover, the Co -ray irradiation during dehydration did not change the crystalline and amorphous phases of the phosphate cement.

This paper describes basic visualization experiments on eutectic reaction and relocation of boron carbide (B
C) and stainless steel (SS) under a high temperature condition exceeding 1500
C as well as the importance of such behaviors in molten core during a core disruptive accident in a Generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (750 MWe class) designed in Japan. At first, a reactivity history was calculated using an exact perturbation calculation tool taking into account expected behaviors. This calculation indicated the importance of a relocation behavior of the BC-SS eutectic because its behavior has a large uncertainty in the reactivity history. To clarify this behavior, basic experiments were carried out by visualizing the reaction of a BC pellet contacted with molten SS in a high temperature-heating furnace. The experiments have shown the eutectic reaction visualization as well as freezing and relocation of the BC-SS eutectic in upper part of the solidified test piece due to the density separation.

Waste packages are needed to satisfy the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) set by the landfill site. To produce sound waste packages that meet such criteria as uniaxial compressive strength and porosity, it is necessary to establish the range of parameters such as mixing time, rotation speed of mixing blade, and amount of cement. This presentation reports on the Beaker scale cold test conducted to determine the cement-to-waste ratio (C/W) which affects the number of waste packages produced and uniaxial compressive strength.

The concentrated liquid waste of Fugen (ATR) is planned to be mixed and solidified using a cement mixing and solidification unit. In this facility, the concentrated liquid waste and cement as the solidification material, are mixed in the mixer and then filled into drums as the disposal containers, to produce a homogeneous and uniform waste package. The facility is being installed onsite with plans to begin service in 2026. This presentation reports on the overview of the solidification facilities and plans for putting it into service.

For the fuel debris management, we develop the preparation techniques for highly porous geopolymer, which would be used as the matrix of neutron absorber as well as hydrogen recombiner. By adding silicon powder to the raw materials, and hot water in mixing, we demonstrated the capability to prepare geopolymer with high fractions of open pores.
