The experimentally determined heat capacity,

In the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, formation of a volatile SrCl could have occurred by the sea-water injection into the core. This can cause the release of non-volatile group Sr from the fuel to induce chemical reactions with reactor structural materials, such as stainless steel and Zircaloy (Zry) cladding. Such reactions could cause the changes in distribution of Sr in the reactor. Chemical reactions between Sr species and Zry were therefore investigated experimentally. As the result, it can be said that Sr vapor species were chemically trapped right after the release from fuel. This trapping effect of Sr by Zry-cladding implies a possibility of preferable Sr retention in the oxide phase of debris.

In order to establish the synthesis method of simulated fuel contacting Cesium (Cs) which is required for the evaluation of physical/chemical characteristics in fuel and release behavior of Cs, sintering tests of the cerium dioxide (CeO) based simulated fuels containing Cesium iodide (CsI) are performed by using spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The sintered CeO pellets with homogeneous distribution of several micro meter of CsI spherical precipitates were successfully obtained by optimizing SPS conditions.

The thermal conductivity was calculated from the measured density at room temperature, literature values of heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity measured by laser flash method in vacuum. The thermal conductivity of americium-containing barium plutonate was roughly independent of the temperature and was almost the same magnitude as that of BaPuO and BaUO.

Summer schools for future experts have successfully been completed under Japan Actinide Network (J-ACTINET) for the purpose of development of human resources who are expected to be engaged in every areas of actinide-research/engineering. The first summer school was held in Ibaraki-area in August 2009, followed by the second one in Kansai-area in August 2010. Two summer schools have focused on actual experiences of actinides in actinide-research fields for university students and young researchers/engineers as an introductory course of actinide-researches. Several quasi actinide-handling experiences at the actinide-research fields have attracted attentions of participants at the first school in Ibaraki-area. The actual experiments using actinides-containing solutions have been carried out at the second school in Kansai-area. Future summer schools will be held every year for the sustainable human resource development in various actinide-research fields.

In order to investigate the effect of MAs and FP addition on the oxygen potential of MOX fuels, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were carried out. MOX fuels with Am and 26 kinds of fission product elements (FPs), simulating low-decontamination MOX fuel and high burn-up to 250 GWd/t, were prepared by a conventional powder metallurgical route in a glove box. The oxygen potentials for simulating low-decontamination MOX fuels were higher than the fuels without FPs and increased positively with increasing simulated burn-up.

The thermal diffusivities of CsMoO and CsUO using samples fabricated by hot press and SPS techniques were measured by a laser flash method in the range from room temperature to 823 K for CsMoO and to 900 K for CsUO. The thermal conductivities of these cesium ternary oxides were quite low compared with UO and MOX fuel. This is consistent with previous findings. These results would be useful for evaluating the thermal performance of MOX fuels at the high burn-up region in the fast reactors.

It is indispensable for realizing recycling minor actinides (MA) to understand and control the peculiar behavior of MA-bearing fuels, which could not be extrapolated from the present LWR fuel cycle technologies. In particular, the behavior of He produced in the irradiation and strage periods of MA-bearing fuels, and the effect of addition of Am and Cm on the fuel properties of oxide fuel have not been satisfactorily clarified so far. From these viewpoints, a three-years R&D program "Development of common and fundamental technologies on the evaluation of fuel behavior for realizing MA recycling" was started in JFY2007 under the "Innovative Nuclear Research and Development Program" entrusted by MEXT. The outline of the results obtained in JFY2008 is introduced in the presentation.
