In this study we established a separation method for radiocaesium-bearing microparticles (CsMPs) from lichens using electron microscopic analysis. Lichens were first digested within hydrogen peroxide and then an automatic particle analyser system based on FE-EPMA was used for detecting CsMPs within lots of mineral-like and metallic particles quickly. The elemental composition and radiocaesium activities of the separated CsMPs were measured, and the results show that the digestion treatment did not influence the CsMPs characteristics. An inhomogeneous elemental distribution was found in some CsMPs by two-dimensional elemental analysis using FE-EMPA. Our methods for separation of CsMPs and analysing their elemental composition are expected to be useful for grasping the chemical composition trends of CsMPs statistically.

An efficient methodology for separating the radiocaesium-bearing micro particles (CsMPs) released by the TEPCO's Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station accident is required to investigate their spatial distribution and physicochemical properties. In this report we developed an efficiency separation method for CsMP from litters since the radiocaesium in litter may affect the radiocaesium cycling in forest ecosystem. One CsMP separation from litter containing lots of soil particles was attained within three days using electron microscopic analysis with digestion treatment of organic matter. This methodology is expected as CsMPs efficient separation method for not only forest floor litter but also barks and leaves of living tree, and other organic materials in the forested environment.

The construction of Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) was initiated in June 1971, and its hot test using spent fuel started in September 1977. Thereafter TRP had been operated to reprocess 1,140 tons of spent fuel for approximately 30 years until May 2007, according to the reprocessing contract with domestic electric power companies. JAEA announced a policy of TRP in report of JAEA reform plan published in September 2014. The policy shows that TRP will shift to a decommissioning stage by economic reasons. Based on the policy, application of approval for TRP decommissioning plan was submitted to Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in June 2017. This plan provides basic guidelines such as procedures for decommissioning and specific activities for risk reduction, and implementation divisions of decommissioning, management of spent fuels and radioactive wastes, decommissioning budget, and decommissioning schedule. The process of TRP decommissioning is planned to continue for approximately 70 years until the release of controlled areas of approximately 30 facilities.

30% Tributyl phosphate (TBP)/n-dodecane is used on PUREX process in Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP). TBP is degraded to di-butyl phosphate (DBP), mono-butyl phosphate (MBP) etc. mainly caused by radiation, extracted element and hydrolysis. In this study, we studied TBP degradation kinetic equation, Pu concentration in high DBP concentration solution after stripping Pu from the solution by diluted HNO, DBP concentration in mixer-settler and effect for process while MOX spent fuel was reprocessed and operation was stopped with Pu loaded on solution for 20 days. As a result of this study, we obtained the equation of TBP degradation. Moreover, the maximum DBP concentration in mixer-settler while reprocessing MOX spent fuel was 91 ppm, DBP concentration while stopping operation was 2000 ppm and we found out there was nothing out of the ordinary on the process after the process was restarted.

Pressure analysis in cell ventilation ducts at bituminization facility where the fire and explosion accident occured was carried out. This report also describes the results of bench mark calculations for computer code EVENT84 which was used for the accident analysis. The bench mark calculations were performed by comparing the analytical results by EVENT84 code with the experimental data of safety demonstration tests of ventilation system which were carried out by JAERI. We confirmed the applicability of EVENT84 code with the conservative results. The pressure analysis in cell ventilation ducts at bituminization facility were performed by comparing the analytical results of duct pressure by EVENT84 code with the yield stress of destroyed ducts by explosion, in order to estimate the scale of explosion. As a result, we could not explain the damage of ducts quantitatively, but we found the local pressure peaks analytically in downstream ducts where the serious damages were observed.

Plutonium product recovered from Fugen MOX type B spent fuel is measured temperature at Tokai Reprocessing Plant. And we studied difference between estimated by ORIGEN and analytical value of relative promotion on Pu, moreover, we studied calculation model because of the difference between initial evaluation and temperature of Pu product.

For reprocessing nuclear spent fuel, in future, used for plutonium-thermal and fast-breeding reactor, density of DBP in extraction solvent on reprocessing Fugen MOX Type B fuel was measured. And we formulated an equation for increased density of DBP to estimate density of DBP in extraction cycle.

We are trying to research how acidity and temperature influences Np behavior at extraction process in Tokai Reprocessing Plant. So we varied acidity and warmed up solution within the limit of operating parameter for second extraction cycle, and measured Np extracted.
