The study and the development to put FBR (Fast Breeder Reactor) to practical use have been doing. So many kinds of technologies are investigated to construct nuclear fuel recycle received to the society. The most important aim of reprocessing has been to extract U and Pu from spent fuels effectively, but, now, the demands for reprocessing are many kinds on nuclear fuel recycle system's construction. These need to be accepted sufficiently. The system that consists of electrolysis, extraction, with molten salt and melting metal, volatilization and condensation using the difference of vapor pressure is suggested, because, differently from LWR (Light Water Reactor), FBR can use the low decontamination factor's fuel. When the engineering scale plant is designed, the dry reprocessing has unsolved problems(ex. process flow) because of less demonstrative scale plants of the dry reprocessing than ones of the wet reprocessing. So the analysis and the estimation of mass balance that is most fundamental in the dry reprocessing system's design need to keep up with the system's alteration (to add new processes etc.) flexibly. This study aim is to develop the mass balance estimation code of dry reprocessing that satisfies the demand mentioned above.

For the purpose of developing the future nuclear fuel recycle system, the design study of the advanced nuclear fuel recycle system is being conducted. This report describes intermediate accomplishments in the conceptual system study of the advanced nuclear fuel recycle system. Fundamental concepts of this system is the recycle system using molten salt which intend to break through the conventional concepts of purex and pellet fuel system. Contents of studies in this period are as follows, (1)feasibility study of the process by Cd-cathode for nitride fuel (2)application study for the molten salt of low melting point (AlCl
+organic salt)(3)research for decladding (advantage of decladding by heat treatment)(4)behavior of FPs in electrorefinning (behavior of iodine and volatile FP chlorides, FPs behavior in chlorination) (5)criticaliy analysis in electrorefiner (6)drawing of off-gas flow diagram (7)drawing of process machinery concept (cathode processor, vibration packing) (8)evaluation for the amounts of the high level radioactive wastes (9)quality of the recycle fuels (FPs contamination of recycle fuel) (10)conceptual study of in-cell handling system (11)meaning of the advanced nuclear fuelrecycle system. The conceptual system study will be completed in describing concepts of the system and discussing issues for the developments.
