Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Chemistry, Analytical)In this study, we developed a simple and one-step Pd separation technique based on photoreduction with Xe lamp irradiation for the determination of 
Pd in highly radioactive samples. A simulated high-level radioactive liquid wastes (HLLW) solution, which consists of 14 major elements (Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) in a 3 mol L
HNO
solution, was used to evaluate the separation performance. The Pd precipitate were formed by Xe lamp irradiation and recovered by centrifugation. The results showed that the recovery of Pd from a simulated HLLW solution depend on the irradiation time and concentration of ethanol. By optimizing the conditions at photo irradiation, the Pd recovery from the simulated HLLW solution reached up to 50 %, while 99.5 % of the other 13 elements were separated. The Pd precipitate could be separated from the elements that are the main source of radioactivity (Sr, Cs, and Ba) and the source of spectral interference for the determination of Pd (Zr, and Ru). These results indicate that selective separation of Pd is achieved with the proposed method, showing the applicability of the proposed separation technique to HLLW samples.

Times Cited Count：17 Percentile：62.19(Engineering, Chemical)The development of solvent extraction and direct electrodeposition processes is an important task to reduce the volume of secondary wastes. In this study, the extraction of Pd(II) from hydrochloric/chloride media using methylimino-bis--dioctylacetamide (MIDOA) in three diluents (acetophenone; AP, 1,2-dichloroethane; DCE, or 1-octanol; OC) and the electrochemical behavior of the extracted Pd(II) complex in the MIDOA/AP bath was investigated. Pd(II) was found to be reduced to Pd(0) metal via a two-electron transfer between -2.38 V and -3.40 V. The potentiostatic electrodeposition of the extracted Pd(II) complex enabled us to recover the blackish electrodeposits, which were identified as Pd metal.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：6.93(Chemistry, Analytical)Palladium-107 is a long-lived fission product, which can be found in high-level radioactive liquid wastes (HLLW). Determination of the Pd contents in HLLW is essential to evaluate the long-term safety of HLLW repositories. However, the Pd content in HLLW has not been reported because of difficulties in pretreatment for the measurement. In this study, we investigated applicability of laser-induced photoreduction to HLLW solution: it enables a simple and non-contact separation of Pd. The results showed the recovery of 60% was achieved at the conditions: 40% ethanol, 20 min irradiation, 100 mJ of pulse energy. Additionally, major radionuclides and potentially interfering components in ICP-MS were removed from the simulated HLLW over a wide concentration range of Pd from 0.24 to 24 mg L, showing the applicability of the proposed separation technique to HLLW samples.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：17.57(Nuclear Science & Technology)Yields of precipitated UO
(NO)(NRP) (NRP = -alkylated 2-pyrrolidone) were precisely determined by considering reduction of the solution volume through the precipitation, which can be estimated from difference in acid concentrations of the liquid phases before and after the precipitation. The studied NRPs were -
-butyl (NBP) and --propyl (NProP) derivatives. In both systems, the precipitation yields precisely determined were always higher than those simply calculated from the ratio of uranium concentrations before and after the precipitation. However, the differences between them are in the range of 0.6% - 2.6%. If such a difference is practically negligible, the volume reduction through the precipitation does not have to be taken into account for simplicity of the analytical manipulation.

O
substrate, respectively. The surface roughness probed by atomic force microscope (AFM) depends strongly on the substrate, which is much larger for the heteroepitaxial layer. Doppler broadening of positron annihilation measurements show existence of defects in both of the films, with a higher concentration in the homoepitaxial film. Raman scattering measurements reveal the E2 phonon vibration mode at 437 cm, which is characteristic of the wurtzite structure. These films show strong ultraviolet (UV) emission at 3.3 eV from the cathodoluminescence measurements, which indicates good optical properties.

As a part of release evaluation in VEGA program, the mass balances of released and deposited FP onto the test apparatus are estimated from gamma ray measurement for acid solution leached from the apparatus, but short-life or radionuclides without emitting 
rays and very small quantity of elements cannot be quantified. Therefore, a microanalysis by ICP-AES is planed for acid solution leached from apparatuses. Since Cs have strong ray spectrum, they have to be removed from solution in advance to avoid contamination of ICP system and to decrease exposure to ray. The method for Cs separation using inorganic ion exchanger, AMP was applied to the test solutions. The results showed that more than 99.9% of Cs could be removed from test solution, and once removed Sb by AMP was recovered by using a complexing agent such as citric acid. The ICP-AES analysis showed that amount of U, Sr and Zr were successfully quantified. The release and deposition will be quantified through ICP-AES analysis for acid solutions from which Cs is separated by AMP or other precipitation method.

MCNP-4C2 system (MS-DOS version) was installed in each note-type personal computer. Fundamental theory of reactor physics and Monte Carlo simulation including MCNP-4C manual was lectured. Effective neutron multiplication factor and neutron spectrum were calculated for JCO deposit tank, JNC uranium solution storage tank, JNC plutonium solution storage tank and JAERI TCA core. In the seminar, methodology of safety management for nuclear fuel cycle facility was discussed in order to prevent criticality accident.
