Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is developing a simplified pelletizing process for MOX fuel fabrication. In this process, the flowability of MOX powder produced by de-nitration conversion based on microwave heating, calcination, and reduction is improved using the wet granulation method. In a previous paper, to produce MOX granules of appropriate sizes for pelletizing them effectively, we proposed a granulation system composed of a wet granulator and a sizing machine. In the present work, we modernized the wet granulator, completed the granulation system by adding auxiliary equipment, and conducted performance tests of the granulation system with WO
powder. The results of a performance test indicated that it is possible to convert raw powder into granules characterized by appropriate size and excellent flowability. The time required to process 5 kg of WO powder was about 70 min, which almost satisfies the target time.

A die filling experiment was carried out using granulated MOX powder to investigate the condition of MOX granules suitable for constant die filling. It was found that the mean particle diameter and the Hausner ratio gave an indication of the die filling for the granulated MOX powder.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency is developing a simplified mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication process. In this process, a wet granulator improves the flowability of MOX raw powder for the pelletizing process 1, 2). Following this granulation step, the formed granules have moisture content of approximately 10 wt.%. To adhere to the acceptance standards regarding moisture content for the fuel pellet fabrication step, drying the granules under the moisture content of 1 wt.% using a dryer is necessary. To maintain the granule shape during powder handling and shaker process of a pressing machine, the granules must be adjusted to enough crushing strength. However, the relation between dry conditions and granule crushing strength has not been reported. Therefore, to estimate the appropriate heating conditions of the dryer, we investigated the influence of varying heating conditions on moisture content and granule crushing strength.
