Times Cited Count：220 Percentile：95.9(Geochemistry & Geophysics)At Nishinomaki abandoned mine district, the water is acidic and contains much amounts of arsenic. However, arsenic concentration decreases downward without any artificial treatment. To understand the mechanism of the natural attenuation, the acid mine drainage and the ochreous precipitates were collected. The samples were analyzed by XRD, IR, ICP-MS and ion-chromatograph. The precipitates were investigated by selective extraction procedure. These results were interpreted with those calculated by the geochemical code. The contamination of water has been result from oxidation of pyrite and realgar and subsequent release of iron. The released ferrous iron transforms to ferric form by bacterial oxidation and then schwertmannite forms immediately. While the arsenic concentrations in the stream are lowered to background level at downstream, these in the ochreous precipitates are up to 60 mg/g. The iron hydroxide has been known to exhibit the high sorption affinity to arsenate. Hence, arsenic is effectively removed by the schwertmannite from the contaminated water and attenuated naturally.

It was required from IAEA to determine a small amount of plutonium in the high active liquid waste solutions (HALW) in the tokai reprocessing plant. High performance spectrophotometer (HPSP), which could be obtained lower detection limit than conventional spectrophotometer, is studied to be applied to the inspection and verification analysis by the IAEA. [Cold Test] Neodymium, showing an absorption peak near the absorption wavelength of plutonium (VI), was used as an alternative element to plutonium, in order to review the calculation method of the peak intensity. As a result, the three-point correction method was found to be simple and effective. [Hot Test] Plutonium nitrate solution was used the fundamental test of this method. Since the method is known to be influenced by acidity, suspended sludge and coexistent elements in a sample, each dependency was examined. It was found that measurement results varied about 14% at a nitric acid concentration of 2-4 mol/L. Sludge should be removed by filtration before the measurement. The effect of coexisting elements could be eliminated adjusting the optical balance between reference and sample beam intensity. In the case of measuring a low concentration plutonium solution sample, a ratio of the peak intensity to the background intensity (S/B ratio) is relatively small. Therefore a method should be improved the S/B ratio by analyzing the obtained spectra. Accumulated average method, moving average method and Fourier transform method was tested. The results showed that a combination of the accumulated average method and the moving average method was the optimum method for the purpose. Linearity of the calibration curve was found between 0-11 mgPu/L. Synthetic sample solution, which simulated the actual constituents of the HALW with plutonium showed a good linear relation at 0-11 mgPu/L. The detection limit for plutonium concentration was 0.07 mgPu/L. When the synthetic HALW solution containing plutonium was measured, the de

The investigation on the radioactivity concentration for gross beta, H and 
Cs in seawater collected around the discharge point had been performed in order to grasp the change of the activity level of the coastal seawater offshore the JNC Tokai Works from the low level liquid effluent of the reprocessing plant. After the investigation on the radioactivity in seawater during the hot examination, the detailed investigation on the environmental effects from the liquid effluent of JNC reprocessing plant has been performed since July 1978 on the basis of the request from Ibaraki prefecture as the full-scale operation of the reprocessing plant. Consequently, no increase of the radioactive concentration due to the discharged effluent has been observed. And also, as the result of the consideration to the investigation on the environmental effect from the liquid effluent throughout 22 years since 1978, no change of the radioactive concentration level in seawater was recognized.

Though HAZOP is recognized as the useful safety assessment method, it requires a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. So recently computer-aided HAZOP has been proposed. The research report in 1999 (PNC TJ1400 99-003) presented HAZOP system based on the plant component malfunctions basic models. By using this basic model, not only state malfunction of component but also the consequence to external circumstance can be assessed. G2, which is an excellent object-oriented developer tool in GUI (Graphical User Interface), was used as a tool for developing the system. By using the graphical editor in the system, the user can carry out HAZOP easily. The purpose of this research is to improve the ability of the HAZOP system to obtain a more detailed HAZOP results. HAZOP is carried out according to the fault propagation of component level and the one of plant level based on plant component malfunctions basic models. Furthermore, the HAZOP system which can do the cause and effect analysis in detail intended for the component which processes two or more materials is developed. It is possible to carry out HAZOP for various plants by newly adding material information to the knowledgebase. We have applied this system to the Nuclear Reprocessing Facilities to demonstrate the utilities of developing system.

The 9
test of Joule-Heated Cylindrical Electrode Melter - Engineering Scale (JCEM-E9 Test) was carried out from June to July 1996, as a part of the development program on an advanced glass melter. The principal purpose of the test was to estimate the effect of noble metal on operation of the melter with simulated high-level liquid waste. Besides, we also evaluated the basic operational characteristics with corrosion of electrodes, qualities of produced glass etc. JCEM-E is an electric glass melter with an internal electrode and an external electrode in a subsidiary furnace. The internal electrode is a rod inserted in the center of external electrode that is a cylindrical tank. The glass is melted by conducting electric current through the molten glass between the internal and external electrodes. The subsidiary furnace is composed of multi-layer refractories inside a metallic casing and is equipped with the resistance heaters. Melting surface area is 0.35 m
that i8 approximately half of 0.66 m of TVF melter. In the test, 13 batches of glass was produced and total weight of produced glass was 3663kg. As a result, The maximum processing rate of JCEM-E with simulated HLLW including noble metals was 4.205.60kg/h, and decreased to less than 80 percent compared with JCEM-E8 Test with non-noble metals HLLW. It was considered that the decrease of the rate arose from concentration of current due to non-uniform distribution of noble metals in molten glass. Judging from the balance of feed and draining, and as a consequence of the observation inside the melter after the test, the draining of noble metals from the nozzle was good. As for the quality of glass produced in the test, properties of concern were comparable with those of standard glass of TVF.
