Fuel debris in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Station is cooled under immersion condition. However, in the event of an unexpected decrease in water level, coolant contacts high-temperature fuel debris having porous structure. In this event, although fuel debris needs to be cooled rapidly, thermal behavior at liquid-solid contact, such as capillary phenomenon, remains unclear. In this paper, as basic research, we evaluate droplet evaporation characteristics after contact with metal porous media with small pores less than 1 mm. In experiment, to obtain life time curve of a droplet, bronze or stainless steel porous media having 1, 40, or 100 
m pore diameter are utilized. Experimental results show that Leidenfrost phenomenon is suppressed on the porous surfaces because generated vapor can be discharged from the pores. Further, for bronze porous media, capillary phenomenon is observed as the temperature of the porous media increase because of generation of oxide film having fine structure. On the other hand, due to low wettability of stainless steel porous media, capillary phenomenon does not occur, and the droplet was not sucked and spread into pore. This indicates that rapid cooling by the capillary phenomenon can not be expected if fuel debris has the same characteristics as the stainless steel porous media.

At present, using ultra-short high intensity lasers at APRC, JAEA Kansai photon research institute, we are developing laser driven multiple quantum beams such as protons, X-rays, electrons and THz waves. These beams are perfectly synchronized with each other. The pulse duration of each beam is lass than a pico-second. They have sharp directionality with high brightness. If we properly combined these, we have new pump-probe techniques for various applications.

High-intensity laser and thin-foil interactions produce high energy ions, electrons, X-ray, high-order harmonics, and THz radiation. High-energy protons driven by the high-intensity laser is paid attention as a compact ion source for medical application. The simultaneous generation of the protons and THz or harmonics will provide us high-density plasma diagnostic or unique pump-probe techniques. We use a Ti:sapphire laser system (JLITE-X) in JAEA for THz radiation. The laser beam is focused by an off-axis parabolic mirror at the 5 m thick Ti target. We observe simultaneously both the high-energy proton and THz radiation by changing the duration of ASE preceding the main pulse. We use a Ti:sapphire laser system in CRIEPI for harmonic generation. The laser beam is focused by an off-axis parabolic mirror at the 7.5 m thick polyimide target surface. The high-energy protons and UV harmonics are observed at the target is moved away from the best focus.
