Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:39.17(Nuclear Science & Technology)In order to perform irradiation experiments under liquid metal environment in a nuclear reactor, an irradiation technique with sodium bonding irradiation capsules has been developed and a series of neutron irradiation experiments with sodium bonding irradiation capsule were performed in Joyo. The design and fabrication of sodium bonding capsule, sodium filling into capsules, capsule loading to Joyo, irradiation experiments, dismantling for irradiated capsule, removing the irradiated specimens from sodium filled capsules, and sodium cleaning the irradiated specimens were established through this study. Using the Joyo irradiation with the sodium bonding capsules where irradiation temperature was distributed uniformly, the irradiation creep experiment for highly purified V-4Cr-4Ti alloys, NIFS-Heat was carried out and the knowledge about the irradiation creep behavior of the alloys was obtained.

Radiation embrittlement in high-strength ferritic/martensitic steels of 2WFK and 63WFS and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) martensitic steel of H-35 that were irradiated in the experimental fast reactor JOYO is evaluated by instrumented Charpy impact tests for miniaturized (1.5 x 1.5 x 20 mm) and half-sized Charpy V-notch (CVN) specimens. Effects of thermal aging and microstructural evolution during irradiation on radiation embrittlement are described. Next, in order to clarify the specimen size effects on the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) in Charpy impact testing, a method to evaluate the plastic constraint loss for differently sized CVN specimens that may be responsible for the size effects is proposed and applied to 2 WFK. In the method, the constraint factor, a, that is an index of the plastic constraint is defined as a = s*/sy*. Here, s* is the critical cleavage fracture stress which is a material constant and sy* is the uniaxial yield stress at the DBTT at the strain rate generated in the Charpy impact test. The procedures for evaluating each of s* and sy* are described and the result of s* and sy*, thus the value of a, is presented for various types of miniaturized and full-sized CVN specimens of 2 WFK. It is shown that there is the following relationship between a and the specimen size factor, (A*/b2). a=a0-k(A*/b2)0.4 Here, A* is the critical area for cleavage fracture and b is the ligament size. a0 and k are constants depending on a /W (a is the notch depth and W is the specimen width). a increases with increasing a /W.

The actinide-hydride(UThZr
H
) fuel has been studied for transmutation of long-lived actinide contained in the high level wastes and the first irradiation test was successfully carried out in the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) of JAERI. Fuel pellets were fabricated by alloying and hydrogenation within an expected diameter error. The fuel pellets were designed to be irradiated below 873K on the fuel surface in consideration of hydrogen dissociation. Irradiation temperature was well agreed with designed value. Fuel burnup reached 0.2%FIMA for two JMTR operation cycles.
