JAEA has the Uranium Refining & Conversion Plant. KAERI has the Uranium Conversion Plant. These CFs have been under decommissioning after their missions completed. Each organization has been developing decommissioning engineering systems to develop effective decommissioning plans and to implement dismantling activities effectively. Therefore, benchmark tests were started in order to verify mutual decommissioning engineering systems. Each organization compared mutual decommissioning engineering system, and compared specification and dismantling procedure of the rotary kiln and management data for dismantling the rotary kiln. Management data for dismantling the rotary kiln in KAERI was calculated by using DENESYS of JAEA. This report describes results of comparisons of dismantling activities of the rotary kiln in JAEA and KAERI, and calculated results by JAEA.

Joint experiments investigating the off-axis neutral beam current drive (NBCD) capability to be utilized for advanced operation scenario development in ITER was conducted in 5 tokamaks (AUG, DIII-D, JT-60U, MAST and NSTX) through the ITPA. We discuss results obtained in the joint experiments, where the toroidal field, , covered 0.3-3.7 T, the plasma current, , 0.6-1.2 MA, and the beam energy, Eb, 67-350 keV. A current profile broadened by off-axis NBCD was observed in MAST. In DIII-D, good agreement between the measured and calculated NB driven current profile was observed. In JT-60U, agreement between measured and calculated NBCD location was obtained, when the NBCD location (0.3-0.6 in /), heating power (6-13 MW), triangularity (0.25-0.45), and (85 and 350 keV) were widely scanned. In AUG (at low 0.2) and DIII-D, introduction of a fast ion diffusion coefficient of 0.3-0.5 m/s in the calculation gave better agreement at high heating power (5 and 7.2 MW), suggesting anomalous transport of fast ions by turbulence. It was found through these ITPA joint experiments that NBCD related physics quantities reasonably agree with calculations (with = 0-0.5 m/s) in all devices when there is no MHD activity except ELMs. Proximity of measured off-axis beam driven current to the corresponding calculation with = 0 has been discussed for ITER in terms of a theoretically predicted scaling of fast-ion diffusion that depends on / for electrostatic turbulence or for electromagnetic turbulence.

SiC/SiC composites are promising candidate materials for various energy industries. One of key issues for their practical application is to develop design basis of quasi-ductile composites. Understanding the crack propagation behavior is therefore essential. For this purpose, determining a fracture resistances undoubtedly important and this paper aims to evaluate this using various types of notched specimens. With the preliminary analysis by the authors, a new methodology to determine the fracture resistance has been developed based on the non-linear fracture mechanics, separately discussing the effect of irreversible energies. By adopting this method for nano-infiltration transient-eutectic-phase sintered (NITE) SiC/SiC composites, several key findings were obtained: (1) notch insensitivity, (2) no significant size effect, and (3) superior crack tolerance.

We have investigated the effect of the field cooling on the exchange bias and the coercivity in an exchange-biased Fe/Cr(100) bilayer using SQUID magnetometer. After the field cooling, magnetization shifted upwards, indicative of surplus magnetic moments, which could be interpreted as an evidence of pinned and uncompensated Cr magnetic moments induced by the cooling field. Interestingly enough, we also discovered that not all the pinned and uncompensated spins seem to be involved in producing the exchange bias, although they contribute to increasing the coercivity and inducing the surplus magnetization.

The possibility of SiC/SiC (Silicon carbide fiber reinforced Silicon carbide) composites application for fuel sub-assembly of Fast Breeder Reactor was investigated. To select a raw material of SiC/SiC composites, a few kinds of SiC nano powder was estimated by SEM observation and XRD analysis. Furthermore, SiC monolithic was sintered from them and estimated by flexural test. SiC nano-powder which showed good sinterability, it was used for fabrication of SiC/SiC composites by Hot Pressing method. From the sintering condition of 1800, 1820C temperature and 15, 20MPa pressure, SiC/SiC composite was fabricated and then estimated by tensile test. SiC/SiC composite, which made by 1820C and 20MPa condition, showed the highest mechanical strength by the monotonic tensile test. SiC/SiC composite, which made by 1800C and 15MPa condition, showed a stable fracture behavior at the monotonic and cyclic tensile test. And then, the hoop stress of ideal model of SiC/SiC composites was discussed. It was confirmed that applicability of SiC/SiC composites by Hot Pressing method for fuel sub-assembly structural material. To make it real attractive one, to maintain the reliability and safety as a high temperature structural material, the design and process study on SiC/SiC composites material will be continued.

Silicon carbide is a candidate nuclear materials because of low-activation and superior irradiation resistance as well as perceived various characteristics inherently featured as prominent engineering ceramics and a continuous fiber reinforced composite has generally been developed due to brittleness of SiC itself. Of many material parameters for design, validation of high temperature durability at approximately 1000C is essential. Understanding of anisotropy of woven composite strength is also very important. Besides, developing comprehensive model to predict composite strength by various modes with a limited data set. This study aims to summarize the features of fracture behavior by tensile, compressive and shear at elevated temperatures. With consideration of the prediction model, we finally obtain the high temperature strength anisotropy map.
