We conducted ray irradiation test using simulated carbonate slurry to obtain the basic knowledge of the cause of stagnant water over the High Integrity Container. We observed a rise in water level, air bubbles in the slurry, a supernatant when the carbonate slurry with 95 g/L density was irradiated by ray at 8.5 kGy/h. The cause of the rise in water level was regarded as the volume expansion by the gas retention in the carbonate slurry.

Analysis framework under indeterminate material distribution is investigated for the Monte Carlo (MC) criticality calculation of continuously mixed media formed via molten core concrete interaction. Randomized Weierstrass functions (RWF) are utilized to represent the volume fractions of constituent materials. The possibility of several percent fluctuation of effective multiplication factor is shown by the MC simulation with delta-tracking.

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.

To construct a database for upwards air/water flows in a vertical pipe, extensive measurements of air/water flows in a vertical pipe using the wire-mesh sensor technology were conducted at the thermal fluid dynamic test facility TPTF of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The test section is 4m in length and 58mm in inner diameter, two sets of three-layers-WMS were set separately at the 1.15m and 1.65m elevation of the air injection position. Air was injected from the bottom of the pipe through 0.6mm/1mm/2mm diameter nozzles. The obtained data are characterized particularly by their quantity and their detailed information on important two-phase flow parameters (e.g. radial distribution of the void fraction, the gas velocity and the time and cross-section averaged bubble size distribution for different test section heights). In the near future, we would like to use the WMS to measure the detailed two-phase flow in sub-channels of a simulated bundle flow.

Time to hydride precipitation in Zircalloy fuel cladding determines the lifetime of the fuel cladding of nuclear reactors. For the design of a new reactor with increased irradiation to transmute TRU elements and reduce waste, the effect of irradiation on the hydride formation must be evaluated. We carried out ab-initio calculations of vacancy cluster and the segregation of hydrogen to the cluster to deduce the fundamental parameters for the modeling of hydride formation. The results are indispensable for the design of the new reactor.

The test result of EFM1 in the CABRI in-pile experiment which was conducted as an internationally collaborated project was analyzed by SAS4A code. The code was developed for the analysis of initiation phase of core disruptive accident. In the EFM1 test, transient overpower was imposed after the cladding melting and coolant boiling which was due to the previously imposed loss of flow. The behavior of large relocation and refreezing of the molten fuel which was caused by the heating peak after the fuel melting was one of the important point in the analysis. As a result, good agreements were observed between the results of experiment and analysis such as timings of coolant boiling, extension of boiling area and behavior of molten fuel motion.
