Sugawara, Takanori; Nishihara, Kenji; Tazawa, Yujiro; Tsujimoto, Kazufumi

no journal, , 

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.

Irradiation experiments of simulated carbonate slurry in HIC, 2; Gas retention behavior of simulated carbonate slurry under $$gamma$$-ray irradiation

Motooka, Takafumi; Nagaishi, Ryuji; Yamagishi, Isao

no journal, , 

We conducted $$gamma$$ 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 $$gamma$$ 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.

Uncertainty of criticality analysis of UO$$_{2}$$-concrete system under randomization

Ueki, Taro

no journal, , 

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.

Development of active neutron NDA techniques for nuclear non-proliferation, 3; Experimental evaluation of neutron flux distribution in the DDA system

Maeda, Makoto; Komeda, Masao; Tobita, Hiroshi; Ozu, Akira; Kureta, Masatoshi

no journal, , 

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.

Measurement of void fraction distribution in two-phase flow in a 4$$times$$4 bundle

Liu, W.; Nagatake, Taku; Jiao, L.; Shibata, Mitsuhiko; Komatsu, Masao*; Takase, Kazuyuki; Yoshida, Hiroyuki

no journal, , 

To improve and validate the prediction accuracy of two - phase codes, Japan Atomic Energy Agency is working on the measurement of void faction distribution in rod bundles with using wire mesh sensors, under high pressure and high temperature conditions (2MPa, 212$$^{circ}$$C). The test section is a 4$$times$$4 rod bundle, in which two three - layer 9$$times$$9 wire mesh sensors are installed at two different axial positions. As the first step of the experiment, to validate the measuring system, we performed experiments in water - air system under atmospheric pressure, with using water and air flow rates as parameters. Void fraction distributions in the sub-channels of the rod bundle were derived in a wide flow pattern from bubbly flow to slug flow. The water flow rate, from the viewpoint of considering the natural circulation after reactor scrum, was lower than 600 kg/m$$^{2}$$s. The data will be used to validate the void fraction correlations and two-phase evaluation codes.

We separated radioactive particles from soil and dust sample obtained around Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. Separated all particles can categorize unit-1 and unit-2 origin. And $$^{125}$$Sb was detected from unit-1 origin samples. Moreover, radioactive particle was made up 80 weight percent silica.

Energy released in criticality accident by instantaneous reactivity insertion to system with non-linear temperature feedback

Yamane, Yuichi

no journal, , 

For criticality accidents due to instantaneous insertion of reactivity to the system with non-linear temperature reactivity feedback, an equation has been derived based on one-point kinetics, by which equation the total fission energy is expressed as a function of initial excess reactivity and other kinetics parameters. The results obtained by using the equation and one-point kinetics code, AGNES, were compared to each other to show that the difference between them decreased with increase of excess reactivity from several ten % to 4%.

Analysis of influence of indoor radiation dose rates on existence of neighboring buildings using reflection boundary

Furuta, Takuya; Takahashi, Fumiaki

no journal, , 

Precise radiation dose assessment for residents is desired for radiation protection under contaminated environment due to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Evaluation of dose rates inside houses is important for this assessment as well as those outside houses by monitoring because people stays inside houses for a large part of a day. We have studied radiation dose reduction inside buildings standing on isolated flat field as the typical data. However, radiation dose reduction for houses in urban area may be different from that for isolated houses because of influence of neighboring buildings. We therefore simulated a situation of infinitely aligned houses virtually by using reflection walls placed at the boundary of geometry containing a house. The radiation dose rate inside this house was computed by transporting radiations using PHITS. We found that dose rates per unit radiation concentration inside the house was lowered as the distance between houses was reduced because of shielding effect by neighboring houses and reduction of radiation source contributed to the dose rate.

Development of quick and remote analysis for severe accident reactor, 5; Analysis of spectra using the least-square method

Akaoka, Katsuaki; Oba, Masaki; Miyabe, Masabumi; Wakaida, Ikuo

no journal, , 

For quantitative analysis of the fuel debris using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), great deal of analysis and identification of spectra are necessary. Therefore, we tried "the analysis of the LIBS spectrum by the least-squares method" as quantitative analysis without identification and analysis of the spectra. As a result, the calibration curves for quantitative analysis could be got without them.
