The selection of back-end technology development issues to be prioritized and their schedule of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) have been put together as the "Strategic Roadmap for Back-end Technology Development." The results of questionnaires on development technologies (seeds) and technical issues (needs) within JAEA conducted in FY2022 were reflected in the selection. The issues were extracted from among those that match the seeds and needs, from the perspective of early implementation in the work front and the perspective of common issues, and nine themes were selected. We will build a cross-organizational implementation framework within JAEA and aim to implement the development results in the work front as well as social implementation.

LEDF (Large Equipment Dismantling Facility) will be constructed for the purpose of decontaminating the high level $alpha solid waste generated in oarai engineering center of JNC. And, main processing process of LEDF is incineration and melting system. LEDF will be intended to reduce the secondary waste that occurs along with the operation of the off gas processing equipment of incineration and melting system. It assumed that we are able to eliminate the adsorption tower using silica gel, if the decontamination factor to volatile ruthenium is able to expect in the packed scrubber that is established to remove harmful gas. Thereupon, we carried out this tests that eliminates the adsorption tower and reduces the secondary waste. The decontamination factor (DF) to the volatile ruthenium by the water scrubber is confirmed in the established institution which is in Tokai Works. However, decontamination factor differs and depends on the ruthenium concentration, harmful gas concentration, washing method and also washing condition. Also, the DF value to the volatile ruthenium in the off gas that occurs from incineration and melting system is obtained, does not exist under the same condition as LEDF. Therefore, the decontamination factor to the volatile ruthenium of the packed scrubber under the operating condition of LEDF is confirmed by this test. The main result of this study is as follows (1) In the examination of the test device specification, the packed scrubber design method was investigated. And, the test device that maintained the resemblance nature with a real machine was produced on the basis of this result. (2) In the result of the ruthenium occurrence condition confirmation test, it was confirmed that the test condition such as the kind of the oxidizer, hold temperature of the oxidization reaction container that produce volatile ruthenium continuously, (3) In the result of the occurrence temperature influence confirmation test, it was confirmed that the ...

The vaporizer in extinguishing of Large Equipment Dismantling Facility (LEDF)that cost is considering as a plan to cut down as part of a rationalization design highly. When the vaporizer is deleted, it becomes here where liquefied carbon dioxide is emitted in the direct cell, it is necessary to grasp the action and extinguishing performance of the pressure change in the cell by rapid evaporation test of the emitted liquefied carbon dioxide. So pressure action inside the fire laboratory in liquefied carbon dioxide release and a putting out the fire tests due to the combustion time of the combustible were enforced by using the general fire laboratory with Demonstration Test on Extinguishing of the cell (I) in the llth year of Heisei. However, since these tests are after laboratory without airtightness, it needs to grasp the pressure action at the time of liquefied carbon dioxide discharge under the airtight high conditions of having assumed the still more nearly actual cell. The cell (II) Demonstration Test on Extinguishing using the vessel of Sodium Leak Fire and Aerosol test rig (SOLFA-2) container inside of OEC was carried out. The results were as follows. (1)In order to grasp the pressure action of the vessel, the internal pressure of SOLFA-2 was set as -50mmH$$_{2}$$O, and emitted liquefied carbon dioxide. Consequently, the tendency for the pressure in the vessel to descend rapidly immediately after liquefied carbon dioxide discharge, and to descend gently-sloping through the process which goes up gradually after that and goes abruptly up for a short time was seen. (2)The process which goes abruptly up in an above-mentioned short time is considered to be the factors with main what some liquefied carbon dioxide emitted in the vessel changed to dry ice, and was deposited taken and sublimating surrounding heat, and evaporating again. (3)It sets to total flooding system and the average minimum temperature in the vessel becomes about -48$$^{circ}$$C, and at ...

In order to rationalize for Large Equipment Dismantling Facility (LEDF), the plan of removing vaporizer belong to Cell-fire-extinguishing-system was investigated. When a vaporizer is cut down, It is necessary to grasp a fire-extinguishing performance. The fire-extinguishing performance check examination by liquefaction carbon dioxide in the cell fire-extinguishing examination (I) was carried out in 1999 fiscal year. As the result, The good performance was obtained to polyethylene. But there was the deep-seated fire about a piece of wood. Then, The check items were carbon dioxide (CO$$_{2}$$) concentration and CO$$_{2}$$ concentration holding time for the deep-seated fire in the cell fire-extinguishing examination (III). The results were as follows; (1)By use of the combustion model in which a piece of wood and cotton were put is lit, temperature inside model, mass reduction, and combustion situation were examined. The model burned remarkably in 30$$sim$$60 min. The peak temperature rise to 680 $$^{circ}$$C(MAX), and attained smoldering after (ignition) 70 min. Moreover, in order to determine the generating conditions of a deep-seated fire, the situation of CO$$_{2}$$ extinguishing after ignition by the time lag of 50$$sim$$90 min were examined. The model around ignition 50 minutes was the most difficult to extinguish, and it turned out that they are the conditions which were most suitable for the deep-seated fire examination model of an exam. (2)In order to decide on CO$$_{2}$$ concentration and concentration holding time required for fire extinguishing of the deep-seated fire in LEDF, The fire-extinguishing performance was investigated by 40 $$sim$$ 65% of CO$$_{2}$$ concentration. Consequently, CO$$_{2}$$ concentration required for deep-seated fire extinguishing was understood that 60% or more was required when safety was taken into consideration at 50% or more. Moreover, when it was 50% or more of CO$$_{2}$$ concentration and the holding time of CO$$_{2}$$ concentration ...

Construction of LEDF (Large Equipment Dismantling Facility) is being planned by Waste Management Section. This purpose of LEDF is the melting treatment of the radioactive waste in OEC (O-arai Engineering Center) and the waste package in JAERI (O-arai Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute). It is also considered about the disposal plan of the future. Therefore LEDF has the sorting process of waste because of the removal of problematic substances. But that process is conducted using its human eyes. This process needs automatic operation because of high classification accuracy, high reliability, burden reduction of a worker. Then we select EXFS (Energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer), and conducted the measurement of waste (a sample) with this device. That purpose is to confirm an application as the sorting device. A confirmation result is shown in the following. (1)Sorting performance Measurement is possible without pretreatment, if it is metal. However, sorting is difficult when paint, plating, impurities, etc. are shown in the surface. (2)Measurement position It is necessary to set a gap of the measurement thing from a measurement position to 4㎜ or less. (3)Radiation influence Because the background had risen by the influence of a radiant ray, the distinction of Fluorescence X-ray became difficult. Therefore the distinction of materials became impossible. Aluminum is influenced specially by it. As a conclusion, the application nature of EXFS thing Sorting System is high. But there is a bad influence by radiation. Therefore, difficult is installation into the cell. In order to apply EXFS to LEDF, it is necessary to place it outside the cell and to use as the help of the visual inspection.

In order to rationalize for Large Equipment Dismantling Facility (LEDF), the plan of removing vaporizer belong to Cell-fire-extinguishing-system was investigated. In this test, in order to study the behavior of pressure in cell, when the liquefaction carbon dioxide (liq-CO$$_{2}$$) is emitted, and the performanee of extinguishing fires, the test of behavior of pressure and the extinguishing fires take effect. Also the extinguishing fires test used water-mist take effect for complement liq-CO$$_{2}$$. The results as follows; (1)In the test of behavior of pressure, Liq-CO$$_{2}$$ was emitted test room under -40mmAq negative pressure. Room pressure was increase about 0.8mmAq/sec at first. After 29sec, the pressure was increase slowly about 0.1mmAq/sec. After 120sec, the increase was drastic about 1.5mmAq/s. (2)In the test of extinguishing fires by liq-CO$$_{2}$$, under -40mmAq, Polyethylene and wooden chips + cotton (crib) was burn. Polyethylene was extinguished perfectly, but the embers remained in cribs. While the room pressure was increase about 1.3mmAq/sec for 10sec at first. After 30 sec, the pressure was increase about 1mmAq/sec. On the other hand, the drastic increase of pressure disappeared between 100sec to 120sec by change the nozzle size from 14mm$$^{2}$$ to 10mm$$^{2}$$. (3)In the test of extinguishing fires by water-mist, Cribs was extinguished perfectly, but Polyethylene was extinguished difficulty under the same condition of liq-CO$$_{2}$$ test. (4)Therefore the results, It's coped with the fire extinguishing and the keeping negative pressure for LEDF cells. Therefore nozzle size is fitted cell volume as changing 14mm$$^{2}$$ to 10mm$$^{2}$$. (5)As the performance of extinguishing fires by liq-CO$$_{2}$$, It is necessity the concentration of above 50% CO$$_{2}$$ for combustibles as cribs, remaining the embers. (6)On the other hand, It is necessity most study for the adoption of water-mist. Therefore water-mist was not effective for polyethylene, and it needed water ...

To decontaminate radioactive waste occurred in nuclear fuel facilities to minimize radiation dose level of the waste, electro-polishing method have been developed in JNC. In this paper, many experiments were performed to get data that were necessary to design electro-polishing equipment. Results of the examinations are as follows. (1)Distance between an electrode and flat board test piece was varied from 10 to 100 mm, electric current density was 0.2A/cm$$^{2}$$, and executing time was 20 minute. In above case, we measured polishing weight of both sides of the test piece to clear polishing distribution in waste surface. The longer the distance between two electrodes, the nearer weight of reverse side became to front side. In the case, best distance between the test piece with electrode is 100mm. (2)Using flat board, angle, pipe, and bolt, shape dependence test was performed. Over 10min. , all the test piece with any shape got a thickness of 10$$mu$$m or more. (3)The electro-polishing equipment ran 85 hour in our experiments. Because remarkable change was appeared in polishing weight and injection voltage over 50 hour, life time of electrolytic solution was 50 hour.
