In the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, it is assumed that the core fuels melted partially or wholly, and the normal technique of accounting for a fuel assembly is not applicable. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the transparent and rational technique of accounting in the process of collection and storage of fuel debris. In this research, an application of the superconducting phase Transition Edge Sensor microcalorimeter (TES microcalorimeter) is studied for the accounting of nuclear materials in the fuel debris. It is expected that the detailed information of nuclear materials and fission products in fuel debris is obtained by using a high-resolution characteristic of TES microcalorimeter. In this report, the principle of TES microcalorimeter, the measurement experiment using TES in JAEA, and the simulated calculation using the EGS5 code system are summarized.

Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. (JNFL) has constructed JNFL MOX Fuel Fabrication Plant (J-MOX) since 2010. The MIMAS process has been introduced in the powder mixing process from AREVA NC considering a lot of MOX fuel fabrication experiences at MELOX plant in France. The feed material of Pu for J-MOX is MH-MOX powder from Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant (RRP) in Japan. The MH-MOX powder is a mixed oxide consisting of 50 wt% plutonium oxide and 50 wt% uranium oxide produced by direct denitration of Pu and U nitric acid solution utilizing microwave heating (MH) technology which was developed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The compatibility of the MH-MOX powder with the MIMAS process was positively evaluated and confirmed in our previous study. The MIMAS process has two mixing steps. In the first step, which is called "Primary Blend", the feed materials (MH-MOX powder, UO powder and recycled scrap powder) are mixed and homogeneous powder which contains approximately 30 wt% of Pu is obtained. In the second step, which is called "Secondary Blend", the primary blend powder is diluted with UO
powder to a certain Pu content. This paper describes the influences of the UO
powder and the recycled scrap powder on the MOX pellet density.
