Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:45.16(Nuclear Science & Technology)A new reprocessing system with 2-stage crystallization process has been developed. In the first stage of the system, U and Pu are recovered from dissolver solution by U-Pu co-crystallization. Laboratory scale experiments were carried out with U and Pu mixed solution and irradiated fuel dissolver solution to obtain fundamental data on U-Pu co-crystallization process. Pu co-crystallized with U, but crystallization yields of Pu were lower than those of U. FPs were separated from U and Pu by co-crystallization, and decontamination factors of Cs and Eu to U in crystal were over 100.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been developing the crystallization process technology in cooperation with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Saitama University and Waseda University. We have carried out experimental studies with uranium, MOX and spent fuel dissolved solution, and flowsheet analysis was researched. Crystal refinement study has been started to get more purified crystal. In association with these studies, an innovative continuous crystallizer and its system was developed to ensure high process performance. From the design study, an annular type continuous crystallizer was selected as the most promising design, and performance was confirmed by small-scale test and engineering scale demonstration at uranium crystallization conditions. In this paper, the research and development of crystallization process are described.

It is necessary to clarify the dismantlement method of 224 double tubes arranging both pressure and calandria tubes concentrically in the reactor as a peculiar problem of Fugen, in the case of phased dismantlement of the reactor. The machine type cutting is desirable, considering the influence on the atmospheres because the double tubes consist of the zirconium alloy and zircalloy material radio activated highly. Besides, Cutting method has long standoff to cut the double tubes at a time for to be short the term of dismantlement. is desirable. Therefore, it was examined to confirm the applicability to the double tubes cutting by abrasive water jet (hereinafter referred to as AWJ) as the machine type cutting method that can take the standoff comparatively longer. As a result, We confirmed for possibility of cutting the double tubes at a time from inside and outside tube, and cutting thick slab by abrasive water jet. Besides, We confirmed for relationship of abrasive supply and cutting velocity, properties of secondly waste.

As a peculiar issue of the decommissioning of FUGEN, it is necessary to establish a dismantlement method for the reactor having a 224 double-tubes structure arranged with pressure and calandria tubes concentrically. Mechanical cutting method will be desirable considering the influence on the atmospheres because the double-tubes consist of highly activated zirconium alloy and zircalloy material. Therefore, the abrasive water jet method was tested and examined as a mechanical double-tube cutting method that needs the standoff comparatively longer. We confirmed the applicability of the abrasive water jet method to the dismantlement of FUGEN's reactor. According to this cutting test, it is possible to cut slab at ca. 0.3-0.6kg/min of abrasive supply. (abrasive supply of AWJ is generally ca. 1.5-2.0kg/min.) And, 150mm thick of SUS were able to cut in the water by once.
