Test equipment, containers, and analytical wastes, generated by experiments using spent fuel pieces in hot cell of Operation Testing Laboratory and by analysis of highly active liquid wastes in hot analytical cell line of Tokai Reprocessing Plant, are treated as highly radioactive solid wastes. These wastes are stored in specific shielded containers called waste cask and then transport to the storage facility. The treatment of these highly radioactive solid wastes have been carried out for 40 years with upgrading waste taking out system and transportation device. As a results, automation of several procedures have been achieved utilizing conventional equipment, and work efficiency and safety have been improved.

The Research Hot Laboratory (RHL) in Japan Atomic Research Institute (JAERI) was constructed in 1961, as the first one in JAPAN, to perform the examinations of irradiated fuels and materials. RHL with two floors and a basement consists of 10 heavy concrete cells, and 38 lead cells (20 lead cells at present). The RHL had been contributed to research program in JAERI. However, RHL is the one of target 'A middle-range decommissioning plan for the facility in Tokai Research Establishment' as the rationalization program for decrepit facilities in JAERI. Therefore, all PIEs had been finished in March 2003 and the dismantling works of hot cells have been started. The 18 lead cells had been dismantled. The examinations performed in RHL will be succeeded to the RFEF and the WASTEF. The partial area of RHL facility will be used for the temporary storage of un-irradiated fuel samples used for our previous research works and radioactive device generated in proton accelerator facility (called J-PARC).

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:17.30(Nuclear Science & Technology)Tritium behavior released in ITER hot cell has been investigated numerically. Tritium behavior was evaluated by a combined analytical methods of a tritium transport analysis with the one dimensional diffusion model in the multi-layer wall (concrete and epoxy paint) and a tritium concentration analysis with the complete mixing model by the ventilation in the hot cell under the simulated hot cell operational conditions. As the results, tritium concentration in the hot cell volume decreases rapidly from 300 DAC (Derived Air Concentration) less than 1 DAC in several days after removing the tritium release source. Tritium inventory in the wall is estimated to be about 0.1 PBq for 20 years operation. On the other hand, Tritium permeation through the epoxy painted concrete wall will be negligible. Finally, as to the effect of epoxy paint on the tritium permeation and inventory, it is found that the epoxy paint can reduce tritium inventory by about two orders of magnitude relative to bare concrete wall.

The amount of fission gas (Kr, Xe) in irradiated fuel pellet increases with extending the burn up and that exerts a serious influence upon thermal and mechanical properties of light water reactor fuel. Therefore, the accumulation of the data on the release behavior of fission gas is important in the investigation program of safety and reliability for extended burn up fuel. In the post irradiation examination at the Reactor Fuel Examination Facility in JAERI,the fission gas which released into the plenum region from UO pellet during irradiation has been measured by puncturing test of irradiated fuel rod. The results of puncturing test show the most of fission gas remained in the pellet. It can be seen that the additional release of fission gas might occur under higher burn up and accident conditions. To know the fission gas release behavior from irradiated fuel, the Out Gas analyzer(OGA)which has the performance to heat up the UO
pellet stepwise up to 2300
C and to measure the released fission gas instantly from the pellet has been developed and installed at RFEF.

A mercury target vessel for a pulsed spallation neutron source in the MLF at J-PARC can be replaced by remote handling tools because it suffers radiation damage and cavitation erosion during the proton beam irradiation. Moreover, to study cavitation erosion quantitatively, we cut out remotely a specimen from the used target vessel inspect the surface of the specimen. These works are carried out in a hot cell of L40m W13m
H12m. Before and after the remote maintenance, we entry the hot-cell for preparation and clean up works. For such works, we take safety measures for high-dose rate and residual contamination in the hot-cell as follows: install shielding to reduce dose rate in the hot-cell, make dose rate map and work plan based on the map, decide reasonable protective equipment depending on the tritium concentration in air, divide work area for contamination control. The result showed that external exposure of workers are lower than that the planned value and previous year although the dose rate in the hot-cell is increased by the ramp-up of beam power.
