This report describes a study about the criticality safety design for the large-scale electrorefiner, which is designed in the activities of "The Design Study of Metal Fuel Recycle System (2002)", under the collaboration with Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, and the continuation of "A Study of the Criticality Safety Design for the Metal Fuel Recycle System", which was published at September 2003. The report includes a detail design and quantitative criticality parameter limits based on "the mass control supported with chemical form control" concept which is proposed in "A Study of the Criticality Safety Design for the Metal Fuel Recycle System". Furthermore procedures to determine these limits are presented in the report. Next we studied contingencies anticipated under the critical control and executed quantitative criticality safety analyses of models based on these abnormal conditions. The analytical result shows adequate safety margins are existed in the criticality safety design even if many of these contingencies could occur. Moreover we propose a concept of material transfer and production control system, we call it as "Operation by wire", which all equipment and handling machines are electrified and the control system provides completely automated process control and operation. The control system eliminates human errors and violations like over batching error or transfer error in the commercial scale metal fuel recycle system with complicated operation procedures.

The plant concept concerning the fuel cycle systems (combination of the reprocessing and the fuel fabrication )has been constructed to reduce their total cost by the introduction of various innovative techniques and to apply their utmost superior efficiency from such standpoints of a decrease in the environmental burden, better resource utilization and proliferation resistance improvement by the low decontamination transuranium element (TRU) recycle. For economical efficiency, less than 0.8 yen/kWh which is the demand value (total of the reprocessing expense and the fuel fabrication expense) of the fuel cycle expense satisfied each combination case at 200 tHM/y scale provisionally set for large-scale facilities. On the other hand, the combination case with a low breeder reactor core has satisfied the demand value, with improvement of the average burnup by the radial direction blanket fuel deletion contributing to the decrease of the fuel cycle expense at 50 tHM/y scale provisionally set for small-scale facilities.

We have been performing the feasibility study on conceptual design for an integrated metallic fuel recycle plant of 38 tHM/y throughput. As a result of this study, the process concept was constructed, and the main equipment and devices were designed considering rationalixation,operationability, reduction of environmental impact and safety for the future commercialization. Furthermore, the image of the whole building included in cells was examined. In particular, the electrorefiner was enlarged from its current size and the cathode processor was improved from the current batch type to the continuation type to increase throughput. The plant was evaluated comprehensively. We confirmed that the major specifications for plant design would be satisfied. The economical cometitiveness of the plant has been evaluated.
