JAEA is developing an evaluation system aided by artificial intelligence (AI) named ARKADIA (Advanced Reactor Knowledge- and AI-aided Design Integration Approach through the whole plant lifecycle). A sub-system of it, named ARKADIA-Design, is being developed to support the design optimization study for an advanced nuclear plant including a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). Authors are developing a design optimization process for the structure of the component in SFR. This paper describes the outline of a design optimization process, the brief introduction of evaluation methods for the process, and the result of the demonstration of the optimization process for a feasibility study. The development is being performed in a representative problem considering the thermal transient and seismic motion as a major issue in SFRs. Through the demonstration, it was confirmed that the optimization process under development may provide an optimal solution to the representative problem.

In JAEA, the design optimization method for plant structure has been developed on the process to output optimal solution of the thickness of reactor vessel wall against thermal transient and seismic loads in a SFR as a representative problem. Resistance characteristic of the wall on the load derived from thermal transient is one of the most important factors for safety estimation on the structural integrity. Failure probability of components against thermal transient was set to one of variables in the objective function for a common scale to compare with other variables in different failure mechanisms. In the iterative process to achieve the optimal solution, a number of evaluations to measure the influence on the load derived from thermal transient was necessarily conducted. More reduction of required time for evaluations is desired. To perform the iterative evaluation process efficiently, the automatization of parametric analyses was implemented in the optimization process.

Analytical devices like syringe pump, electric burette, fraction collector, and electric valve have been controlled by the program written with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA Macro) to automate the column separation of radioactive sample measurement. It is found that VBA Macro can control each device. Therefore, automatic conditioning and separation equipment were made by combining each device and sequentially controlling with the program. The automation conditioning equipment can repeatedly perform conditioning operation with maximum of 8 columns. The automation separation equipment can separate and recover Sr in simulated highly active liquid waste by using Eichrom Technologies Sr resin. It is found that the developed automation method, using commercially available VBA Macro, is effective to reduce labor work, operator's radiation exposure, and to prevent operational error of analysis, together with reducing the cost of automation.

An automatic analysis system was developed to analyze Strontium-90 (
Sr) radioactivity in environmental sample for 2013-2015. Various kinds of ashed environmental samples were used in performance tests of the automatic system. These tests were successful without any system trouble. However, Sr concentration had not been measured using the samples analyzed by the system. In this research, Sr concentration in seaweed sample was compared by between the system's analysis and worker's one. Moreover, the system was improved in each analysis process.

This report describes accomplishment of simulations of Pyrochemical Process Operation by using virtual engineering models. The pyrochemical process using molten salt electrorefining would introduce new technologies for new fuels of particle oxide, particle nitride and metallic fuels. This system is a batch treatment system of reprocessing and re-fabrication, which transports products of solid form from a process to next process. As a result, this system needs automated transport system for process operations by robotics. ln this study, a simulation code system has been prepared, which provides virtual engineering environment to evaluate the pyrochemical process operation of a batch treatment system using handling robots. And the simulation study has been conducted to evaluate the required system functions, which are the function of handling robots, the interactions between robot and process equipment, and the time schedule of process, in the automated transport system by robotics. As a result of simulation of the process operation, which we have designed, the automated transport system by robotics of the pyrochemical process is realistic. And the issues for the system development have been pointed out.
