A solution of plutonium nitrate and uranyl nitrate is converted into a mixed oxide by microwave heating denitration method. In the present study, for improving the efficiency of microwave heating and achieving high-temperature uniformity to produce homogeneous UO powder, the microwave heating test of potassium chloride and uranyl nitrate solution, and numerical simulation analysis were conducted. The potassium chloride agar was adjusted to the dielectric loss, which is close to that of the uranyl nitrate solution and the optimum support table height was estimated to be 50 mm for denitration of the uranyl nitrate solution by microwave heating. The adiabator improved the efficiency of microwave heating denitration. Moreover, the powder yield was improved by using the adiabator owing to ease of scraping of the denitration product from the bottom of the denitration vessel.

After the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, various numerical criteria relevant to radiation protection were defined. We surveyed these criteria through internet. As a result of survey, the following 13 items were identified: (1) criteria for taking stable iodine tablets, (2) criteria for the screening of surface contamination, (3) evacuation area, sheltering area, etc., (4) activity concentrations in food, drinking water, etc., (5) dose limit for radiation workers engaged in emergency work, (6) guideline levels of radioactive substances in bathing areas, (7) criteria for use of school buildings and schoolyards, (8) restriction on planting rice, (9) acceptable activity concentrations in feedstuff, (10) acceptable activity concentrations in compost, (11) criteria for export containers and ships, (12) criteria for contaminated waste, (13) standards for radiation workers engaged in decontamination work. In this report, the basis of and issues on these criteria are summarized.

In the low-level radioactive waste treatment technology development facility(LWTF),the cement solidification process is being studied on its applicability as a method for preparing waste packages from sodium-nitrate-containing low-level liquid waste generated at reprocessing plants.Solidified products prepared by the use of this process contain nitrate(sodium nitrate)and nitrite(sodium nitrite), and such products might come under the category of the Class1 Hazardous Material(oxidative solid)under the Fire Services Act.Thus it has been determined that cement-solidified products prepared from simulated liquid waste will be tested to judge whether they should be treated as

The microwave heating denitration method is used in the spent fuel reprocessing process. In order to develop the mass production of denitrification technology for the future, it is necessary to fully grasp the operating conditions to avoid flashing and overflow phenomena of solution. In this research, the conditions of the generation of flashing are evaluated using the potassium chloride aqueous solution as the simulated solution, and the concentration of potassium chloride and the microwave output as parameters. It is found that it is difficult to occur the flashing phenomenon as the concentration of potassium chloride increases.

To investigate the influence of the dielectric properties of a solution or a spacer on the heating process of the solution, a low dielectric Teflon or an airogel having a very low dielectric property almost equivalent to air was placed as a spacer directly below the vessel. And the influence of the geometry and the dielectric properties of the sample and the spacer on the heating properties of the sample were evaluated. The heating efficiency obtained by the experiment tended to decrease as the spacer height increased. It was confirmed that the heating efficiency obtained by the electromagnetic analysis almost agreed with the experimental results by a support height of 50 mm. When Teflon was used as a spacer, microwaves entered from the bottom of the solution, whereas when airogel was used as a spacer, microwaves tended to enter from the top of the solution, and it was clarified that the dielectric characteristics of the spacer were the heating characteristics of the sample.

The microwave heating denitration method is used in the nuclear fuel cycle. To clarify the mechanism of flashing phenomena during microwave heating, it was focused on the frequency of bubble nucleation in heterogeneous nucleation and considered the bubbles generated in the solution. From the visualization observation results, it was verified that a new bubble was generated below the single bubble. The bubbles generated at the gas-liquid interface are considered to be caused by heterogeneous nucleation. Moreover, the calculation results revealed that bubbles were generated at a large contact angle. It is suggested that many bubbles are generated at the gas-liquid interface, and many bubbles generated by heterogeneous nucleation in the superheated liquid phase influence the generation of flashing.

In the reprocessing process in the nuclear fuel cycle, a solution of plutonium nitrate and uranyl nitrate is converted into a mixed oxide by microwave heating denitration method. The objective of this study is to clarify the mechanism of the flashing phenomenon and to clarify the effect of the microwave heating characteristics of a high dielectric constant solution on the flashing phenomenon. Microwave heating experiments were conducted using KCl aqueous solution, which is the high dielectric constant solution simulating the reprocessing solution. It was clarified that the growth rate of bubbles in the KCl aqueous solution decreased with the time of microwave heating compared with distilled water. It is thought that in the KCl aqueous solution, the heating efficiency at the center of the solution is lower than that in the surroundings, and the growth rate of bubbles is reduced so that the flashing phenomenon does not easily occur in the high dielectric constant solution.

To reduce the retention of the nuclear fuel materials in the glove box and the external exposure dose, the technology of the powder adhesion prevention by the surface micro-fabrication on the glove box components has been developed. In this study, a stainless steel specimen, which is a glovebox component material, was subjected to surface microfabrication, and measurements and evaluations were carried out concerning adhesion and powder adhesion prevention effects. A stainless steel specimen that was unmachined and several specimens with different surface roughnesses that had been micro-fabricated on their surfaces were used to perform surface roughness and adhesion measurement tests by atomic force microscopy. The average adhesion force tended to decrease as the surface roughness increased. In this study, it was found that surface micro-fabrication of stainless steel had a certain effect on preventing powder adhesion.
