The graphite-moderated power reactor was shut down in 1998 and its decommissioning program is being planned. Various graphites are used in the core of magnox-type reactors and HTTR as core-support structural materials and moderating materials of fast neutrons. For the nuclear graphite disposal, it is necessary to determine especially the treatment of long-lived nuclides, such as C which are generated in the graphite components during reactor operation. As a research, which solves the problem of the
C concentration, the cooperative research is concluded between JAERI and Japan Nuclear Power Corp. in 1999, and the research for the basic data acquisition has been advanced up to the present. To find the optimum conditions for
C reduction, basic data on oxidation reaction and the structure of graphite materials are indispensable. In the present experiment, we measure the air oxidation characteristics in the temperature range 450
800
C in Quality1 graphite and IG-110 graphite. Changes in pore diameter and pore size distribution due to air oxidation are discussed.

To separate long-lived minor actinides and specific fission products such as Zr and Mo from nitrate acidic high-level liquid waste, we studied an advanced partitioning process by extraction chromatography using minimal organic solvent and compact equipment. In this work, we synthesized several new type of nitrogen donor ligands, 2,6-bi-(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazine-3-yl)-pyridine (R-BTP) with different alkyl groups and prepared novel silica-based extraction-resins by impregnating these ligands into the SiO-P support with a diameter of 50
m. The adsorption performance of
Am and Ln (III) from nitrate solution was investigated. It was found that the adsorption behavior depends strongly on the alkyl group in R-BTP.
Bu-BTP/SiO
-P and
Hex-BTP/SiO
-P showed high absorbability and selectivity for Am (III) over Ln (III). The separation factor is about 10
for Am/Ce and near 10
for Am/Eu-Gd, respectively. Effective Am (III) separation form Ln (III) by extraction chromatography using R-BTP/SiO
-P extraction-resins is expected.
