Criticality experiments using uranyl nitrate solution fuel are being conducted at STACY (the Static Experiment Critical Facility) and TRACY (the Transient Experiment Critical Facility) in NUCEF (the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Safety Engineering Research Facility). Chemical analyses of the solution have been carried out to take necessary data for criticality experiments, for treatment and control of the fuel, and for safeguards purpose at the analytical laboratory placed in NUCEF. About 300 samples are analyzed annually that provide various kinds of data, such as uranium concentration, isolation acid concentration, uranium isotopic composition, concentration of fission product (FP) nuclides, tri-butyl phosphoric acid (TBP) concentration, impurities in the solution fuel and so on. This report summarizes the analytical methods and quality management of the analysis for uranyl nitrate solution relating to the criticality experiments.

Analytical results of uranyl nitrate solution are essential data for the operation of the Static Experiment Critical Facility (STACY), the Transient Experiment Critical Facility (TRACY) and the fuel treatment system in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Safety Engineering Research Facility (NUCEF). Analytical works were carried out for the determination of fuel characteristics before and after criticality experiments, fuel preparation and nuclear material accountancy in FY. 2001. Moreover,as to preparation of critical experiments at STACY, plutonium preliminary tests were carried out to confirm the treatment condition (characteristics of the dissolution of the mixed oxide (MOX) powder and the extraction & separation for uranium / plutonium) of plutonium nitrate solution.

Three and half years has been passed from the start of IFMIF/EVEDA. In IFMIF/EVEDA, tasks for Lithium Target System consists of 5 validation tasks (LF1-5) and a design task (ED3), and are shared by Japan and Europe. Japan is covering the construction and operation of EVEDA Li Test Loop (LF1), diagnostics (LF2), purification system (LF4), remote handling system (LF5) and engineering design (ED3) with the contribution from universities. The present status of these tasks will be reported in the conference.

Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) were started from July 2007 under an international agreement called ITER Broader Approach. As a major Japanese activity, EVEDA Li test loop (ELTL) to simulate hydraulic and impurity conditions of IFMIF has already designed and is under construction, in which feasibility of hydraulic stability of the liquid Li target, the purification systems of hot traps are major key issues to be validated in this loop. This presentation focuses on the engineering design of the ELTL, and its construction and commissioning.
