Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Density functional theory calculation is applied to predict the stability constants for Eu and Am complexes in aqueous solution for molecular modelling of novel separation agents for minor actinides over lanthanides. Logarithm of experimental stability constants correlates with calculated complex formation enthalpies with high reproducibility (R 0.98). Prediction of stability constants of novel chelates is demonstrated and indicates a potential availability of the derivatives of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid type chelate in acidic condition and enhancement of Am selectivity over Eu.

Times Cited Count:16 Percentile:85.51(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In this study, for the understandings of Cesium (Cs) adsorption behavior on structure materials in severe accidents at a light water nuclear reactor, the chemical state of Cs and its distribution on the surface of SUS304 stainless steel (SS) with different Si concentration were investigated by hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) and scanning electron microscope / energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX). As a result, it was found that Cs is selectively adsorbed at the site where Si distributes with high concentration. CsFeSiO is a dominant Cs products in the case of low Si content, mainly formed, while CsSiO and CsSiO are formed in addition to CsFeSiO in the case of high Si content. The chemical forms of the Cs compounds produced in the adsorption process on the SS surface has a close correlation with the concentration and chemical states of Si originally included in SS.

To understand the chemisorption behavior of Cesium (Cs) under an LWR severe accident, we have studied the Cs chemisorbed surfaces of the simulation samples (stainless steel) by hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). It was found that the chemical states of Cs adsorbed on the sample surface were varied in dependence upon a silicon concentration of sample.

In order to develop oxygen sensor using oxide scales formed on the surface of zirconium alloy, we focused on zirconium and copper alloy system. It was expected that the oxide scale of Zr oxide on the alloy is thin and elaborate compared with that on the pure Zr because the activity of Zr in the alloy is reduced and the oxidation rate of alloy become slow. Therefore the oxidation behavior and mechanism of two phase alloy, Zr-35Cu which is composed of ZrCu and ZrCu, was studied. The results showed the oxidation rate of the alloy was same with that of the pure Zr.
