Since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, many decontamination works have been carried out, but it is difficult to say that much data on workers' exposure has necessarily been analyzed in detail. In this paper, based on the GPS location information carried by the workers together with their personal dosimeters, the air dose rate in the work area and the characteristics of each type of work were analyzed. The results showed that more than 50% of the measured actual doses were more than twice the median planned dose calculated from the air dose rate and actual working hours. Furthermore, as a result of the analysis by work type, it was found that the exposure doses of demolition workers tended to be high, and that this was due to the fact that most of the work was carried out before the work was carried out to reduce the dose at the work site. In addition, when the conversion from air dose to effective dose was taken into account, there were many cases of underestimation where the planned values were lower than the measured values, and it is considered important for management to set appropriate working factor.

Uranium handling facility for development of nuclear fuel manufacturing equipment (Mockup room) was constructed in 1972. The Mockup room has a weak seismic resistance and is deteriorating with age. Also, the original purpose with this facility have been achieved and there are no new development plans using this facility. Therefore, interior equipment installed in this facility had been dismantled and removed since March 2019. After that, the Mockup room was inspected for contamination, and then controlled area in the Mockup room was cancelled on March 29th 2022. A total of 6,549 workers (not including security witnesses) were required for this work. The amount of non-radioactive waste generated by this work was 31,300 kg. The amount of radioactive waste generated by this work was 3,734 kg of combustible waste (103 drums), 4,393 kg of flame resistance waste (61 drums), 37,790 kg of non-combustible waste (124 drums, 19 containers). This report describes about the dismantling and removing the interior equipment in the Mockup room, the amount of waste generated by this work, and procedure for cancellation the controlled area in the facility.

Disassembling technique of the driver fuel assembly irradiated in the experimental fast reactor JOYO has been established at Fuel Monitoring Facility in JAEA. This technique made it possible to remove the fuel pins from the driver fuel assembly without the fuel pin sectioning. After disassembling the fuel assembly, some selected fuel pins can be reassembled into the new irradiation vehicle for the continuous irradiation at JOYO. This technique enables us to obtain the irradiation data of high burn-up fuel and high neutron dose material.

In this paper, FY2009 results of the COMPASS code development are reported. Validation calculations for melt freezing and blockage formation, eutectic reaction of metal fuel, duct wall failure (thermal-hydraulic analysis), fuel pin failure and disruption and duct wall failure (structural analysis) are shown. Phase diagram calculations, classical and first-principles molecular dynamics were used to investigate physical properties of eutectic reactions: metallic fuel/steel and control rod material/steel. Basic studies for the particle method and SIMMER code calculations supported the COMPASS code development. COMPASS is expected to clarify the basis of experimentally-obtained correlations used in SIMMER. Combination of SIMMER and COMPASS will be useful for safety assessment of CDAs as well as optimization of the core design.

Both FM transition temperature(Tc) and the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic (R-to-O) transition temperature (Ts) decreased by a few percent of Al substitution. An in situ Lorentz TEM observation revealed that drastic change of the FM domain structure took place through the R-to-O structural transition. The magnetization decreased slightly at Ts and characteristic spin-glass state is realized in the low-temperature region below Ts.

It is found that LaSrMn
Al
O exhibits a structural phase transition from the rhombohedral to orthorhombic structures at Ts
116 K. During the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic transition, the FM domain structures changed from the macroscopic FM domains to the FM ones with the wavy stripe pattern. The ac magnetic measurements also revealed that LaSrMnAlO shows unconventional magnetic behaviour at low temperature below 65 K. Partial substitution of non-magnetic Al
for Mn has some influence on magnetic ordering and double-exchange interaction, which should induce insulator behaviour in the orthorhombic phase.

Dispersion and freezing of molten core material was calculated by the COMPASS code to compare with the experimental data of GEYSER. Molten core material flowed up with freezing on the pipe inner surface. As a molten pool behavior, CABRI-TPA2 experiment was analyzed, where a sphere of solid steel was surrounded by solid fuel. Power was injected to cause melting and boiling of the steel sphere. SCARABEE-BE+3 test was analyzed by COMPASS as a validation of failure of duct walls.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency executed the irradiation examination of the MA content mixed oxide fuel by Experimental Fast Reactor "JOYO". This examination was used that the mixed oxide fuel that contained Americium by 3% and 5%, and the mixed oxide fuel of Americium and Neptunium that contained 2% for each. The irradiation examination executed a short term irradiation (For ten minutes and 24 hours) by the high linear heat, and achieved maximum linear heat about 430 W/cm in "JOYO". After it had irradiated it, the post irradiation examination of the fuel pin was executed in the Fuels Monitoring facilities. On the results of X ray CT examination, the result that the density decrease is forecast to the vicinity of the center of the fuel was obtained for ten minutes in the irradiation. The formation of the central void was confirmed to the center of the fuel in 24 hour irradiation.

An innovative technique to measure the deformation of irradiated wrapper tube of FBR fuel assembly was developed, and installed in the hot cell of the Fuels Monitoring Facility in JAEA. In order to confirm the performance of this instrument, a number of measurements were carried out in the wrapper tubes irradiated to high burnup in the experimental fast reactor Joyo. In the instrument used until now, only three face to face distances in the hexagonal wrapper tube have been measured along the axial direction. On the other hand, in the instrument developed in this technique the face to face distances could be continuously measured along the lateral direction in the outer surfaces of wrapper tube. Using data obtained by this technique, the detailed analyses of deformation can be done throughout a whole wrapper tube.

A computer code, named COMPASS, is being developed for various complex phenomena of core disruptive accidents (CDAs) in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). The COMPASS is designed to analyze multi-physics problems involving thermal hydraulics, structure and phase change, in a unified framework of the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) method. The project has been carried out by six organizations for five years from FY2005 to FY2009. In this paper, the outcomes of the project in FY2007 are presented. Three validation calculations were completed by following the validation plan: melt freezing and blockage formation, molten pool boiling, and duct wall failure. The COMPASS code development was supported by basic studies of the numerical method, material science for eutectic reaction of the metal fuel, and SIMMER-III analyses.

MARICO-2 is a Testing Rig for the continuous irradiation examination of ODS ferrite steel etc.. It was necessary to re-assemble of MARICO-2 in Fuel Monitoring Facility (FMF). However, MARICO-2 is not applicable a past technology of re-assembly because it is a Rig of the total length about 11 m and its hex-tube must be welded by remote control. Then, MARICO-2 re-assembly technology development was executed, the device was designed, it produced, and the procedure of re-assembly by remote control was established.
