Under the framework of J-PARC, the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) plans to construct the Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF). The TEF consists of two facilities: the Transmutation Physics Experimental Facility (TEF-P) and the ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T). The TEF-P is a critical facility which can accept a 600 MeV - 10 W proton beam. The TEF-T is a material irradiation facility using a 600 MeV - 200 kW proton beam, where a Pb-Bi target is installed, but neutron multiplication by nuclear fuel will not be attempted. This report describes the purposes of the facility, the present status of the conceptual design, and the expected experiments to be performed.

The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) is conducting the research and development (R&D) on the Accelerator-Driven Subcritical System (ADS) for the effective transmutation of minor actinides (MAs). The ADS proposed by JAERI is the 800 MWth, Pb-Bi cooled, tank-type subcritical reactor loaded with (MA+Pu) nitride fuel. The Pb-Bi is also used as the spallation target. In this study, the feasibility of the ADS was discussed with putting the focus on the design around the beam window. The partition wall was placed between the target region and the ductless-type fuel assemblies to keep the good cooling performance for the hot-spot fuel pin. The flow control nozzle was installed to cool the beam window effectively. The thermal-hydraulic analysis showed that the maximum temperature at the outer surface of the beam window could be repressed below 500 
C even in the case of the maximum beam power of 30 MW. The stress caused by the external pressure and the temperature distribution of the beam window was also below the allowable limit.

R&D on lead-bismuth technology have been conducted for accelerator driven system. From the test results of 316SS using JLBL-1 for 3000h without active oxygen control, mass transfer from high temperature to low temperature parts was observed. It was found that deposition of Pb/Bi and Fe-Cr grains in the annular channel of the electro-magnetic pump caused plugging and decrease in flow rate. The modification of the loop system brought about a good effect on operation. Significant erosion/corrosion was not observed in the experiment using MES loop for 1000h under 10
wt.% oxygen condition. The results of static corrosion tests showed the following: corrosion depth decreased at 450C with increasing Cr content in steels while corrosion depth of JPCA and 316SS became larger due to ferritization caused by dissolution of Ni and Cr at 550C. Si-added steel exhibited good corrosion resistance at 550C.
