doped with NdO
/SmO, which is major fission product (FP) generated by a uranium-plutonium mixed oxides (MOX) fuel irradiation, as simulated fission products are evaluated at 1073-1673 K. The thermal conductivities are calculated from the thermal diffusivities that are measured using the laser flash method. To evaluate the thermal conductivity from a homogeneity viewpoint of Nd/Sm cations in MOX, the specimens with different homogeneity of Nd/Sm are prepared using two kinds of powder made by ball-mill and fusion methods. A homogeneous Nd/Sm distribution decreases the thermal conductivity of MOX with increasing Nd/Sm content, whereas heterogeneous Nd/Sm has no influence. The effect of Nd/Sm on the thermal conductivity is studied using the classical phonon transport model (A+BT)
. The dependences of the coefficients A and B on the Nd/Sm content (C
and C
, respectively) are evaluated as: A(mK/W)=1.70

+ 0.93C + 1.20C, B(m/W)=2.39 10

Liquid sodium (Na) has been used as the coolant of fast reactors for the various merits, such as the high thermal conductivity. On the other hand, it is postulated that a steel liner may fail and lead to a sodium-concrete reaction (SCR) during the Na-leak accident. Because of concrete ablation and release of hydrogen gas due to the chemical reactions between Na and concrete components, the SCR is one of the important phenomena in the Na-leak accident. In the study, fundamental experiments related to the SCR were performed using Na and concrete powder. Here, the used concrete powder is milled siliceous concrete which is usually used as the structural concrete in Japanese nuclear power plants. The obvious temperature changes at 3 temperature regions were observed for the reaction process such as Na-melt, NaOH-SiO and Na-HO-SiO reaction, which occurred around 100, 300 and 500
C, respectively. Especially, the violent reaction around 500C caused the temperature peak to 
C, and the reaction heat of 
kW/g was estimated under the Na-concrete mixing ratio such as 
. The main components of the reaction products was identified as NaSiO with X-ray diffraction technique. Moreover, the measured thermophysical properties such as melting point, density, specific heat, thermal conductivity and viscosity were similar to those of 
NaO-
SiO (
).

The influence of Gd on characteristics of debris is important for removing the debris from the reactors of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant because subassemblies of nuclear fuels containing GdO were loaded in the some reactor cores. Additionally, it is important to assess the distribution state of Gd from the anxiety of re-criticality caused by the relocation of debris while removing them. In this study, sintered pellets of (U
Gd
Zr
)O (y=0,0.5, 2-x=1.989-2.000) were melted and solidified to prepare specimens of simulated corium debris. Phase states and fundamental properties of them were evaluated.
