The construction of Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) was initiated in June 1971, and its hot test using spent fuel started in September 1977. Thereafter TRP had been operated to reprocess 1,140 tons of spent fuel for approximately 30 years until May 2007, according to the reprocessing contract with domestic electric power companies. JAEA announced a policy of TRP in report of JAEA reform plan published in September 2014. The policy shows that TRP will shift to a decommissioning stage by economic reasons. Based on the policy, application of approval for TRP decommissioning plan was submitted to Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in June 2017. This plan provides basic guidelines such as procedures for decommissioning and specific activities for risk reduction, and implementation divisions of decommissioning, management of spent fuels and radioactive wastes, decommissioning budget, and decommissioning schedule. The process of TRP decommissioning is planned to continue for approximately 70 years until the release of controlled areas of approximately 30 facilities.

Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) started to reprocess in September 1977, and reprocessed approximately 1,140 tons of spent fuel. TRP which finished the role will do the decommissioning for the next approximately 70 years. We will dismantle facilities while performing risk reduction. And we will perform necessary technology development for decommissioning.

Tokai Reprocessing Plant is the chemical plant having approximately 30 facilities. Moreover TRP has the particularity that must start the decommissioning while treating radioactive waste. Especially it is important to vitrify high radioactive waste. JAEA worked out the decommissioning schedule for TRP having these particularities. In this presentation, the basic thought of 70-years-schedule is described.

The TRP had been operated to reprocess 1,140 tons of spent-fuel for approximately 30 years until May 2007. TRP finished the role of reprocessing, and it shift to a decommissioning stage. In this presentation, particularity and challenging-issues of TRP decommissioning are presented, before report a related consideration of TRP.

Low level liquid waste generated from reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel in the Tokai Reprocessing Plant solidified with bitumen from 1982 to 1997. About 30,000 of bituminized wastes were produced, and stored in the storage facility. Recently, the leakage phenomenon due to the corrosion of bituminized waste drum occurred in the other nuclear facility. Based on the malfunction event, we have advanced the development of observation device for grasping soundness of the bituminized waste drums stored in the storage facility. This paper is reported about our effort to develop a remote observation device of the bituminized waste drums stored in the storage facility and the observation results with the developed device.

The High Active Solid Waste store HASWS of Tokai Reprocessing Plant. HASWS don't have a equipment to retrieve the High Active Solid Waste. Therefore, I examined the Using remotely machine at decommissioning of domestic and international. In the technical investigation, I investigated the machine and others which could perform work of (1)-(3). (1) Cutting work of the wire attached to Hull Can. (2) Moving work of Hull Can. (3) Attach the hoisting accessory work of Hull Can. I compared the extracting machine and others. As a result, I chosed the Remotely operated Vehicle And underwater buoyancy.

We are developing a system to take out waste from wet storage for the decommissioning of HASWS in Tokai Reprocessing Plant. The main component of the system is an underwater ROV, which has been used for decommissioning in the U.K. However, since the underwater ROV alone cannot handle the waste, we are considering combining it with an underwater buoyancy, which is used for lifting and transporting submarine items in the offshore field. In mock-up tests, simulated waste has been placed in a mock-up facility that simulates an actual HASWS, and tests have been conducted to lift up simulated waste using various shapes of underwater buoyancy and to move simulated waste by combining an underwater ROV and an underwater lifter. We report the results of these tests, as we obtained results regarding the removal of waste using underwater buoyancy.

Toward the decommissioning of HASWS in Tokai Reprocessing Plant, we are developing equipment for recovery waste from wet storage. So far, after conducting surveys and operability confirmations of ROVs that have been used for decommissioning in the UK, we have conducted mock-up trials using an ROV tester. In the mock-up trial, simulated waste was placed in various postures and orientations in a mock-up facility simulating the HASWS. We confirmed that the ROV could cut the wires attached to the waste, that the waste could be moved using the underwater ROV and buoyancy, and that the ROV could attach hanging tools to the waste. A result was obtained regarding the removal of waste using an underwater ROV, etc., so I will report it.
