The study and the development to put FBR (Fast Breeder Reactor) to practical use have been doing. So many kinds of technologies are investigated to construct nuclear fuel recycle received to the society. The most important aim of reprocessing has been to extract U and Pu from spent fuels effectively, but, now, the demands for reprocessing are many kinds on nuclear fuel recycle system's construction. These need to be accepted sufficiently. The system that consists of electrolysis, extraction, with molten salt and melting metal, volatilization and condensation using the difference of vapor pressure is suggested, because, differently from LWR (Light Water Reactor), FBR can use the low decontamination factor's fuel. When the engineering scale plant is designed, the dry reprocessing has unsolved problems(ex. process flow) because of less demonstrative scale plants of the dry reprocessing than ones of the wet reprocessing. So the analysis and the estimation of mass balance that is most fundamental in the dry reprocessing system's design need to keep up with the system's alteration (to add new processes etc.) flexibly. This study aim is to develop the mass balance estimation code of dry reprocessing that satisfies the demand mentioned above.

To estimate the polyelectrolyte effect and the effect of the heterogeneous composition of humic acids, the complex formation constants of Eu(III) and Ca(II) with Aldrich humic acid and polyacrylic acid were obtained, for Eu(10 to 10 M) by solvent extraction with TTA and TBP in xylene, for Ca (10M) with TTA and TOPO in cyclohexane and for Ca(10M) by using ion-selective electrode. By defining the apparent formation as = [MR]/([M][R]), where [R] denotes the concentration of dissociated functional group, [M] and [MR] denote the concentration of free and bound metal ion and pcH is defined as-log[H], the values of log have been obtained at pcH 4.8 - 5.5 in 0.1 - 1.0M NaClO and NaCl. Log of Eu-humate varied from 5.0 to 9.3 and that of Ca-humate from 2.0 to 3.4..For both humate and polyacrylate, log increased with pcH or with the degree of dissociation. The increase in the ionic strength O.1 to 1.0 M decreased the log, the decrease in log of Eu(III)-humate is 1.6, that of Eu(III), polyacrylate 0.7, that of Ca(II)-humate 1.9 and that of Ca(II)-polyacrylate 1.2. While the increase in the metal ion produced no effect on log of polyacrylate, log of humate decreased. Depending on the concentration of Eu(III), the coexistence of Ca(II) reduced log of humate by 0 to 0.8. The dependence of log of humate on the metal ion concentration suggests the coexistence of strong and weak binding sites in the hmnic acid.

The state of development of pyrometallurgical partitioning and extracting technology of irradiated fuel is investigated. Also in case of perfoming the test at O-arai engineering center, the contents of the test, equipments, structure and arragement of cells that equipments are installed, are studied. The purpose of the test is to confirm the realization of the process and behavior of FP and TRU elements, and off-gass that cannot be made dear by cold test. In this study it is assumed that 100g monju fuel (94,000MWd/t B.U, cooled for 550 days) per batch is treated. Four processes are picked up except for pin sectioning and powdering, as important subjects. They are as follows. (1)reduction of oxide fuel (2)electrorefining (3)cathode processing (4)extraction of TRU elements. And the outline of the test, blocked flow chart and the outline of equipment are clarified. And the outline of chart is drawn. Moreover, the specification of analitical equipments which are necessary to analyze the product is shown. From spent chloride, TRU and a part of FP elements are extracted and they are recycled for electrorefining and so on. The salt-waste including residual FP elements is kept in a receptacle after being absorbed into Zeorite and soldified. As the disposition of these tests, modified test cell in the existing FMF, modified concrete cell in AGF, new cell at B2F in the existing FMF and new cell at second auxiliary room in FMF extension are studied. As result of considering the disposition for equipment, the difficulty of reconstucting new cell including of equipments, method of mentenance, and equipments of ventilazion (Ar circumstance) including of management of off gas, and the plan of disposition, it is concluded that constructing iron cell into the second auxiliary room of FMF extension is best, because it is easy to construct safely, and the occurance of radioactive waste and the influence to other tests is little, and it is possible to examine more efficiently.

There are two methods of handling the spent fuel generated from the light water reactor; they are (l)direct disposal and (2)reprocessing-plutonium recycling. At present, Japan is following the line of "Reprocessing-Plutonium Recycling," but in the rest of the world, the movement for reviewing the Plutonium recycling is spreading, and in the future, the world opinion and pressure from overseas countries will increase against this method. Under these circumstances, Japan must compare the two methods to clarify the meaning of plutonium recycling. In this investigation, an overseas document by which the spent fuel had directly examined disposal was investigated. And, the content of those documents was arranged. The case of which directly disposed in Japan was set and the basic specification and the cost were evaluated. As a result of the investigation, the disposal cost became 54,900,000 yen/tU in the case with our country. This evaluation value is about 25% higher than Sweden and Finland where the cost is the highest in an overseas case. In cost items, the ratio which the article expense occupies is high. Moreover, the cost of construction and the close of underground facilities occupies the entire half for our country. This investigation is an evaluation based on in the case of the evaluation the current. Therefore, I want you to note going as for a technical detailed examination. However, the guess of the cost when directly disposing in Japan pounded. Moreover, the nuclear material control of the spent fuel is not evaluated. I want you to note cannot the comparison for that with the disposal of the glass solidification body.
