230 various types of nuclear facilities were constructed in JAEA's R&D Institutes or Center until the establishment of the JAEA in 2005. The JAEA has efficiently and systematically decommissioned nuclear facilities that would no longer be required after the establishment of the JAEA. Decommissioning of nuclear facilities in each JAEA's R&D Institutes or Center was continued based on the second midterm plan of the JAEA from FY2010 to FY2014. Decommissioning of 2 nuclear facilities was completed during the second midterm. This report describes current status of decommissioning activities in the JAEA during the second midterm and outline of the decommissioning plan in the third midterm.

An effective mass processing equipment using solvent extraction method, named "emulsion flow extractor," is the most promising apparatus for removal and recovery of uranium from liquid waste originated from decontamination of uranium-contaminated fluoride waste in the uranium conversion test facility and of used gas centrifuges in the uranium enrichment facility at Ningyo-toge environmental engineering center. Prior to application of the emulsion flow extractor for actual uranium-containing liquid waste, properties of some phosphorous extractants for extraction and separation of uranium and constituents from simulated liquid wastes were examined through batch tests. These preliminary tests revealed that D2EHPA would be a promising candidate for extractant used for treatment of the actual uranium-containing liquid wastes, and that the extractants with a surfactant like AOT would not be useful.

Sludge waste derived from research and discussion for uranium refining and conversion exclude much uranium. We must recover uranium from them from the point of view of use of resource and we dispose of residue generated by the process. We recovered uranium from real waste by water or hydrochloric acid. The dissolution rates of uranium from sludge from neutralization and NaF, filter medium, alumina, MgF wastes were more than 99% by 2 hour 1N HCl treatment. The dissolution rate of uranium from bed material waste was more than 99% by 24h 1N HCl treatment and addition of hydrogen peroxide. The dissolution rates of NaF, filter medium waste by water treatment were 99% and 88%. From the results, we confirmed dissolution characteristics of real waste as basic data to study recovery process of uranium.

As of October 2014, four Nuclear Power Plants, such as Tokai-1, Hamaoka Power Station Unit 1, Unit 2 and Fugen, have been carried out decommissioning, and JAEA's facilities, such as JRR-2, JRTF, RHL, PFFF, have been decommissioned, too. This presentation shows the decommissioning strategy and current status of decommissioning in Japan at ANUP2014.
