In MOX fuel fabrication facility, zinc stearate will be added into the MOX powder as addition material. If the material is added in large excess by miss operation, criticality characteristics of the MOX fuel would be influenced because it has neutron moderation effect. If criticality condition should be induced by the excess addition, physical variations, such as melting and pyrolysis of the material, must be caused by the fission energy and dynamic characteristics of the MOX fuel must be affected. To contribute quantitative evaluation of the dynamic characteristics, thermal properties data such as exo/endothermic calorific values, reaction rates, etc. with the respective physical variations and release behavior of pyrolysis gas were measured. It was found the exo/endothermic behavior with rinsing temperature of the material could be divided into six regions and rapid pressure rise caused by the pyrolysis reaction over about 400 
C. Furthermore, on the basis of the results, evaluation model for the thermal properties under the criticality condition was also investigated.

Judging from several evidences which are operators' testimony, observation result, and so on, the "Committee for an Investigation into the Fire and Explosion Incident at the BDF of the Reprocessing plant of Tokai Works" concluded another fire incident occurred in the filling room (R152) after the explosion (hereafter called second fire incident). This report explains the simulation result of second fire incident. Calculated air temperature and radiation intensity are used another calculations that indicate the thermal influence from the fire name to the extruder or neighboring drums. About second fire incident, calculated result indicates first fire occurred from the No.30104 drum that was produced in 30B or several drums including No.30104 drum. It is estimated that temperature and thermal runaway reaction was not due to fire of neighboring drum because the drum doesn't receive large influence thermally by radiation from the neighboring fire name. Each result suggests the all burnt 29B and 30B drums were filled at higher temperature than usual.
