Iron hydride FeH, is thermodynamically stable only at high hydrogen pressure of several GPa. To investigate the hydrogenation process and hydrogen state in iron hydride, it is necessary to carry out the in-situ measurement under high pressure and high temperature. In this study, we performed the in-situ neutron diffraction measurement of Fe-D system using the high pressure neutron diffractometer PLANET in the MLF, J-PARC, and determined the deuterium occupying sites and occupancies in fcc-FeD. We found the minor occupation of tetrahedral sites under high pressure and high temperature. We considered the mechanism of the minor occupation based on the Quantum-mechanical calculation.

The JAERI constructed the Advanced Volume Reduction Facilities(AVRF). The AVRF consists of the Waste Size Reduction and Storage Facilities(WSRSF) and the Waste Volume Reduction Facilities(WVRF). By operating the AVRF, it will be able to produce waste packages for final disposal and to reduce the amount of the low level solid wastes. Cutting installations for large wastes such as tanks in the WSRSF have been operating since June 1999. The wastes treated so far amount to 600 m and the volume reduction ratio is around 1/3. The waste volume reduction is carried out by a high-compaction process or melting processes in the WVRF. The metal wastes from research reactors are treated by the high-compaction process. The other wastes are treated by the melting processes that enable to estimate radioactivity levels easily by homogenization and get chemical and physical stability. The WVRF have been operating with non-radioactive wastes since February 2003 for the training and the homogeneity investigation in the melting processes. The operation with radioactive wastes will start in FY2005.

Iron hydride FeH, is thermodynamically stable only at high hydrogen pressure of several GPa. Three hydride phases, bcc-FeH (), dhcp-FeH (), and fcc-FeH () were confirmed at 300-2000 K and 0-20 GPa. In situ neutron diffraction measurement on their deutrides have not been reported yet. A high pressure neutron diffractometor, PLANET, constructed at Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility at J-PARC, enables us to perform in situ neutoron diffraction measurements on deuterization process of metals at high pressure and high temperature. With PLANET, the deuteration process of iron was investigated at a pressure of about 7 GPa and temperatures up to about 1000 K. This in situ measurement was successfully made using a deuterization reaction cell developed for neutron diffraction measurement. We observed the bcc-fcc transition of pure iron around 800 K and successive deuterization of fcc-Fe around 870 K.
