This presentation shows fabrication and test results of a testing facility for fuel cooling that is a component of the testing facility for remote-handling of highly-radioactive MA fuels in the transmutation physics experimental facility (TEF-P) planned in the J-PARC. Evaluation formula of pressure drop and temperature increase used in the design of TEF-P was validated by the test, and, feasibility of cooling concept was confirmed.

JAEA has started to develop a technology which can be applicable to high radioactive special nuclear materials such as next-generation fuel cycle products. We have been developed Non-destructive assay system Active-N as a test equipment which utilizes D-T neutron generator. In a system for Differential Die-Away (DDA) method which is tested in Active-N, it is important to evaluate neutron flux to check the performance of the system. In this research, we have evaluated neutron flux in a system for Fast Neutron Direct Interrogation method which is a kind of DDA method by activation method and Monte Carlo simulation by using PHITS.

It is thought that a generated ruthenium compound grows from a high level radioactive liquid waste into RuO crystal by reacting to raw materials for the vitrification process. In this study, the generation reaction to RuO was confirmed by heating Ru-La-Na mix nitrates and the raw materials.

To estimate the prediction accuracy of the integrated burn up analysis code system SWAT4, we compared the calculation results of SWAT4 and the PIE data of the BWR fuel which was measured by JAERI in 1990s. Comparison results are indicated that the C/E value of major heavy nuclei, e.g., U and Pu, is approximately 1.0. The calculation results are also indicated that some fission products, e.g., Sm, have the larger difference.

Effect of halogenated gas on detritiation efficiency of the detritiation system has been investigated taking an event of off normal event such as fire into consideration. Concerning the activity of platinum catalyst for oxidation of tritium, we have evaluated the steep decrease in activity of platinum catalyst in the presence of halogenated gas. In order to avoid the steep decrease in activity, a noble catalyst alloyed with platinum and palladium showed an outstanding proof. In addition, the halogenated acid produced over catalyst surface affects the activity of catalyst. As for water absorber, a molecular sieve decreased its water absorbing capacity in the presence of halogenated gas.

JAEA is developing a water-cooled ceramic breeder blanket. For the blanket strength and pressure integrity are assessed. The largest stress appears in the first wall region due to the surface heat and neutron loads. Under conditions with the thermal loads and cooling water pressure, stress in the first wall is analyzed with reference to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Limitations related to the primary/secondary stresses and strain are considered. Material data necessary for the assessment is summarized, and then status of preparation is studied for a structural material of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel, F82H. The summarized date of F82H is compared with standardized 9Cr-1Mo-V.

By utilizing the MA-related measurement data, a study to adjust the JENDL-4.0-based cross sections was performed. As a result, it was obtained that the uncertainty of MA-related reactor core parameters induced from the nuclear data uncertainty could be greatly reduced.

After Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster by TEPCO, a cooling system to prevent core damage became more important from the perspective of defense in depth. Therefore, a new, highly efficient RCCS with passive safety features without a requirement for electricity and mechanical drive is proposed. Employing the air as the working fluid and the ambient air as the ultimate heat sink, the new RCCS design strongly reduces the possibility of losing the heat sink for decay heat removal. The RCCS can always stably and passively remove a part of the released heat at the rated operation and the decay heat after reactor shutdown. Specifically, emergency power generators are not necessary and the decay heat can be passively removed for a long time, even forever if the heat removal capacity of the RCCS is sufficient. Moreover, we can also define the experimental conditions on radiation and natural convection for the scale-down heat removal test facility.
