Risk information obtained from probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of measures against severe accidents in nuclear facilities. The PRA methods used for reprocessing facilities are considered immature compared to those for nuclear power plants, and to make the methods mature, reducing the uncertainty of accident scenarios becomes crucial. In this paper, we summarized the results of literature survey on the event progression of evaporation to dryness caused by boiling of high-level liquid waste (HLLW) which is a severe accident in reprocessing facilities and migration behavior of associated radioactive materials. Since one of the important characteristics of Ru is its tendency to form volatile compounds over the course of the event progression, the migration behavior of Ru is categorized into four stages based on temperature. Although no Ru has been released in the waste in the high temperature region, other volatile elements such as Cs could be released. Sufficient experimental data, however, have not been obtained yet. It is, therefore, necessary to further clarify the migration behavior of radioactive materials that predominantly depends on temperature in this region.

The release and transport characteristics of radioactive materials at a boiling accident of the high active liquid waste (HALW) in a reprocessing plant have been studied for improving experimental data of source terms of the boiling accident. This paper describes an experiment using a small test device having an electric furnace, in which 100 mL of the HALW was heated from room temperature to 300
C and the amount of materials released during heating was measured. The amount of materials as a function of its initial concentration in the HALW is reported.

The release and transport characteristics of radioactive materials under the boiling and desiccating accident of the high active liquid waste in a reprocessing plant have been studied. Ruthenium is one of the important nuclides for evaluating public dose from the volatile viewpoint. By using apparatus which can control the experimental condition of temperature and atmosphere composition in the gas phase, the transport characteristics data of RuO
which is chemical form of Ru with volatility was acquired. As the results, it was found that RuO would transport in the gas phase without thermal decomposition and deposition onto the inner wall of glass under the experimental condition with nitric acid vapor.
