Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:17.82(Nuclear Science & Technology)Lithium titanate with additional Li (LiTiO
) and lithium orthosilicate (Li
SiO
) is one of the most promising candidates for use in a tritium breeder because of its good chemical and mechanical stabilities. Currently, mixtures of tritium breeder pebble and neutron multiplier (Be or Be
Ti) pebble are being considered for use in increasing the tritium breeding ratio in a breeding blanket. However, lithium and beryllium are gradually reacted under practical operating conditions, and therefore a high-functional tritium breeder such as lithium beryllium oxide (Li
Be
O
) needs to be developed to compensate for this reactive characteristic under high temperature use. In this study, methods of synthesizing Li
Be
O
have been extensively investigated by means of solid-phase reaction. The solid-phase reaction of LiOH(H
O) and BeO is a suitable synthesis method for lithium beryllium oxide (Li
Be
O
). It is expected that single-phase Li
Be
O
will be stable under the mixture conditions of a tritium breeder and neutron multiplier in the blanket region at high temperatures.

Effective separation of MA and LLFP, transmutation and utilization were the main directions of Advanced OREINT Cycle project. Study for each integrant technology was concluded as first trial of the project. TPR enabled to separate MA/Ln and then Am/Cm precisely from spent fuel in HCl and HNO media. CEE method could separate the light PGM and Tc by HCl media. Recovery of Cs from simulated HLLW coul be achieved more than 90 %. In addition, the perspective for next phase was proposed.

Times Cited Count:54 Percentile:96.07(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Lithium titanate (LiTiO
) is one of the most promising candidates among tritium breeding materials because of its good tritium release. Addition of H
to inert sweep gas has been proposed for enhancing the tritium release from tritium breeding materials. However, the mass of Li
TiO
was decreased with time in the hydrogen atmosphere. It is assumed that the mass decrease indicates the loss of the oxygen contained in the sample caused by the change from Ti
to Ti
, and that the partial pressures of Li-containing species were increased in the hydrogen atmosphere. In order to decrease the mass-change at high temperature, advanced tritium breeding material with added Li should be developed to improve the physical and chemical stability in hydrogen atmosphere. In the case of the Li
TiO
samples used by the present study, LiOHH
O and H
TiO
were proportionally mixed with the molar ratio Li/Ti of either 2.0 and 2.2. These samples are designated as L20 (Li/Ti = 2.0) and L22 (Li/Ti = 2.2), respectively. The results of XRD measurement showed that the phases in advanced tritium breeding material were as follows. L22 existed as non-stoichiometric compound Li
TiO
.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:9.64(Chemistry, Analytical)A multi-functional separation process is proposed on the Adv.-ORIENT cycle concept. In this process, hydrochloric acid, mixture of nitric acid and methanol should be used as eluents. Two important subjects should be solved so as to prove the availability. One is corrosion aspect for the use of HCl solution, Tantalum was anti-corrosive in HCl media, and Hastelloy-B seemed to be acceptable at RT, with evidence of low corrosion rate ( 0.1 mm/y). The other is explication of the reactive safety between ion exchange resin and solvent (nitric acid and methanol). The reaction occurred regardless of nitric acid concentration and presence or absence of methanol when the temperature of heater reached 220
C. However, it was confirmed that the reaction did not occur when the heating temperature decreased.

The impurity concentration in both (NH)
Mo
O
and K
MoO
solutions, which are selected as advanced targets of Mo-solution irradiation method for
Mo production, was determined by the Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) using k
-standardization method. As a result, Na, Mn and W were identified as impurities in the as received molybdate. After the compatibility test with structural material (SUS304) under
-ray irradiation, activation analysis of molybdate solutions was also carried out. It was found that the identified impurity concentration was stably staying in solutions and no element comes from the structural material by the NAA method. However, small corrosion of structural material was observed from the ICP measurement.

A solution irradiation method is proposed as a new production technique of Mo, which is the parent nuclide of
Tc used as a radiopharmaceutical. In this new method, an aqueous molybdenum solution is irradiated with neutron in a nuclear reactor, and efficient and low cost
Mo production comparing with conventional
Mo production methods can be realized by using the
Mo (n,

Mo reaction and a high performance adsorbent for (n,

Mo. In the present research, some tests under unirradiation and
-ray irradiation were carried out using two kinds of aqueous molybdate solutions to be candidates for the irradiation target of the new method, and the corrosivity for structural materials, chemical stability, radiolysis and
heating of the solutions were investigated. As a result, it was found that the solutions are promising as the target and that stainless steel can be used as the structural material of capsules and pipes.

In the present study, using two kinds of aqueous molybdate solutions (an aqueous ammonium molybdate solution and an aqueous potassium molybdate solution) selected as candidates for the irradiation target of the solution irradiation method for Mo production, the compatibility between the solutions and structural materials, the chemical stability, circulation characteristics, radiolysis and
heating of the solutions were investigated under
-ray irradiation. In addition, the integrity of PZC was investigated under
-ray irradiation. As a result, the following were found: (1) the compatibility between the solutions and stainless steel is very well, (2) the solutions are chemically stable and have a smooth circulation, (3) the ratios of hydrogen in the gases generated by the radiolysis of the solutions are higher than that of pure water, (4) the effect of
heating on the solutions is the same level as that on pure water, and (5) the integrity of PZC is maintained.

In the present study, the schematic structure of the Mo production system with the solution irradiation method was investigated, and two kinds of aqueous molybdate solutions (an aqueous ammonium molybdate solution and an aqueous potassium molybdate solution) were selected as candidates for the irradiation target of the solution irradiation method, and then the molybdenum adsorption performance of PZC with the solutions, the properties of the molybdates to be materials of the solutions, the compatibility between the solutions and structural materials, and the chemical stability of the solutions were investigated under unirradiation. As a result, it was found that the aqueous potassium molybdate solution is promising as the target in terms of the molybdenum content, the compatibility with the structural materials, and the chemical stability and that the aqueous ammonium molybdate solution with suitable pH adjustment has an aptitude for the target. In addition, it became clear that stainless steel having good compatibility with the solutions has a potential as the structural material of capsules, pipes and so on.

Tc for the medical diagnosis is the most widely used radioisotope in the world and it's demand is growing up year by year. In case of Japan, all
Mo which is parent nuclide of
Tc, is imported. However, the importance of the domestic production is pointed out from a viewpoint of the stable supply of
Mo because of some troubles on transportation or the research reactor, and so on. Therefore, the (n,
) method using solid molybdenum target had been planned in JMTR. However, it will be difficult to satisfy domestic demand because of the limited irradiation volumes of the hydraulic rabbit irradiation facility. In order to increase the amount of
Mo production, the molybdenum solution irradiation method was proposed as a new production method. This method is based on the neutron irradiation of molybdenum solution, and several advantages can be pointed out such as a large irradiation volume, high efficient and low cost comparing with conventional methods using enriched
U(n,f)
Mo as the major method or using a solid molybdenum target of MoO
as the minor (n,
) method. Aiming at the realization of the molybdenum solution irradiation method, un-irradiated and
ray irradiated tests of the molybdenum solution were carried out, and the data of chemical stability and compatibility with the structural materials were shown.
