Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) which shifted to decommissioning phase in 2014 had nuclear fuel materials such as the spent fuel sheared powder, the diluted plutonium solution and the uranium solution in a part of the reprocessing main equipment because TRP intended to resume reprocessing operations when it suspended the operations in 2007. Therefore, we have planned to remove these nuclear materials in sequence as Flush-out before beginning the decommissioning, and conducted removal of the spent fuel sheared powder as the first stage. The spent fuel sheared powder that had accumulated in the cell of the Main Plant (MP) as a result of the spent fuel shearing process was recovered from the cell floor, the shearing machine and the distributor between April 2016 and April 2017 as part of maintenance. Removing the recovered spent fuel sheared powder was conducted between June 2022 and September 2022. In this work, the recovered powder was dissolved in nitric acid at the dissolver in a small amount in order to remove it safely and early, and the dissolved solution was sent to the highly radioactive waste storage tanks without separating uranium and plutonium. Then, the dissolved solution transfer route was rinsed with nitric acid and water. Although about 15 years had passed since previous process operations, the removing work was successfully completed without any equipment failure because of the organization of a system that combines veterans experienced the operation with young workers, careful equipment inspections, and worker education and training. Removing this powder was conducted after revising the decommissioning project and obtaining approval from the Nuclear Regulation Authority owing to operating a part of process equipment.

Based on the regulations (the safety regulation of Tokai reprocessing plant, the safety regulation of nuclear fuel material usage facilities, the radiation safety rule, the regulation about prevention from radiation hazards due to radioisotopes, which are related with the nuclear regulatory acts, the local agreement concerning with safety and environment conservation around nuclear facilities, the water pollution control law, and bylaw of Ibaraki prefecture), the effluent control of liquid waste discharged from the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories of Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been performed. This report describes the effluent control results of the liquid waste in the fiscal year 2014. In this period, the concentrations and the quantities of the radioactivity in liquid waste discharged from the reprocessing plant, the plutonium fuel fabrication facilities, and the other nuclear fuel material usage facilities were much lower than the limits authorized by the above regulations.

Japan Domestic Agency (JADA) for ITER will procure toroidal field (TF) coil structures and winding packs, and assemble them into a final TF coil configuration. Because the manufacturing schedule of the TF coils is on a critical path toward the first plasma of ITER, coil manufacturing must be successful and proceed on schedule. Therefore, risk assessment and management for the manufacturing are vital. JADA performed a risk assessment on the basis of past manufacturing experiences and risk mitigation policy for ITER. The results show that risks can be mitigated to a level that we can assure sufficint quality of the TF coil by sound design, manufacturing and quality management processes developed through R&D activities, and the use of prototypes.

The purpose of this R&D is the development of removal method for the deposit and the countermeasure of corrosion by solute in the boiler system. In the boiler system, sulfur and iron oxide accumulated on the bottom and stiffened on there. Because the property of this deposit changed to strong acidity, then the generating tube was corroded by it. And the leakage, occurred at generating tube, was found at Dec. 2011. The property of deposit was too hard to remove by pressurized water, and width of each pipe was too narrow to remove by mechanical method, because there was several thousands of generating tube every 30 mm on the bottom. Therefore the effect of lab examination, corrosion test based on materials of the generated tube, was evaluated.
