Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:86.05(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)9Cr-ODS steel claddings consisting of tempered martensitic matrix, showed prominent creep rupture strength at 1000 C, which surpassed that of heat-resistant austenitic steels although creep rupture strength of tempered martensitic steels is generally lower than that of austenitic steels at high temperatures. The measured creep rupture strength of 9Cr-ODS steel claddings at 1000 C was higher than that from extrapolated creep rupture trend curves formulated using data at temperatures from 650 to 850 C. This superior strength seemed to be owing to transformation of the matrix from the -phase to the -phase. The transient burst strengths for 9Cr-ODS steel were much higher than those for 11Cr-ferritic/martensitic steel (PNC-FMS). Cumulative damage fraction analyses suggested that the life fraction rule can be used for the rupture life prediction of 9Cr-ODS steel and PNC-FMS claddings in the transient and accidental events with a certain accuracy.

Times Cited Count:37 Percentile:96.77(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Ultra-high temperature ring tensile tests were carried out to investigate the tensile behavior of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel claddings and wrapper materials under severe accident conditions; temperatures ranged from room temperature to 1400C which is near the melting point of core materials. The experimental results showed that tensile strength of 9Cr-ODS steel claddings was highest in the core materials at the ultra-high temperatures between 900 and 1200C, but that there was significant degradation in tensile strength of 9Cr-ODS steel claddings above 1200C. This degradation was attributed to grain boundary sliding deformation with / transformation, which was associated with reduced ductility. On the other hand, tensile strength of recrystallized 12Cr-ODS and FeCrAl-ODS steel claddings retained its high value above 1200 C unlike the other tested materials. Present study includes the result of "R&D of ODS ferritic steel fuel cladding for maintaining fuel integrity at the high temperature accident condition" entrusted to Hokkaido University by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT).

In the framework of GIF, SDC and SDG for the generation IV SFRs have been developed in the circumstance of worldwide deployment of SFRs. JAEA and MFBR have been investigating design study of an advanced loop-type SFR to satisfy SDC in the feasibility study of SDG for SFR. In this study, the ability of the pump/IHX in the advanced loop-type SFR for the safety measures has been evaluated. In addition to the safety measures, maintainability and reparability are taken into account in the advanced loop-type SFR design study. The pump/IHX has been modified to satisfy these requirements. This paper describes the modifications for the ability to withstand a severe earthquake, the reliability of the guard vessel in the primary coolant leak, and the reliability of expansion joints in a sodium-water reaction. The evaluations of thermal transient, structural vibration with pump rotation and wear-out of IHX tubes, that has been adversely effected by the modifications, were described as well.

Times Cited Count:32 Percentile:88.55(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In order to examine irradiation effect on creep rupture strength of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel claddings, the in-pile creep rupture test was conducted using Material Testing Rig with Temperature Control (MARICO)-2 in the experimental fast reactor JOYO. Fourteen creep rupture events were successfully detected by the temperature change in each capsule and the -ray spectrometry of the cover gas. Time to creep ruptures of six ODS steel specimens were identified by means of Laser Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry (RIMS), and no irradiation effect on creep rupture strength was confirmed within the irradiation condition in the MARICO-2 test.

Reformed sulfur (RS) is superior in water interception and acid resistance compared with cement. Therefore solidified wastes with RS should have the high resistance to leaching. Unconfined compressive strength test and leaching test using solidified simulated wastes containing lead contaminated with radioactive nuclides (Lead waste) with RS and solidified simulated low level radioactive liquid waste (LLLW) with RS were conducted to examine the applicability of reformed sulfur solidification method (RSSM) as solidification technique of Lead waste and LLLW. The results of these studies show that RSSM is effective technique for stabilization of lead compared with cement solidification method because solidified lead with RS has much stronger resistance to leaching of lead than solidified lead with cement. It also show that the applicability of RSSM as solidification technique of the waste containing lead oxide and LLLW is low because the resistance to leaching of solidified lead oxide with RS and of solidified simulated LLLW with RS were equal to or lower than those of solidified products with cement respectively.

The active fault survey tunnel that crossed the Mozumi-Sukenobu fault (a member of the Atotsugawa fault system) is located at the Kamioka mine, northern Gifu prefecture, Central Japan. The comprehensive study of the active fault is done by using this tunnel. The purpose of this investigation is to define the hydrological characteristics of the Mozumi-Sukenobu fault crush zones. The permeability of the crush zones is measured by the Lugeon test and the simple injection test.

ODS steels have been noticed as a prospective candidate for long-life fuel claddings of FR due to their high temperature strength and radiation resistance. It is necessary to acquire data on tensile strength and creep rupture resistance of core materials at ultra-high temperature for use in safety design. The authors reported some data of tensile properties of ODS steel cladding at ultra-high temperatures, however, there are few data on creep rupture strength. In this study, ultra-high temperature creep rupture strength and transient burst properties with wide range of heating rates have been investigated for ODS claddings. Internal creep rupture tests for 9Cr-ODS claddings were carried out at temperatures between 650 and 1000C, and ring creep tests were performed at 1000C. The temperature-transient-to-burst tests were performed on both steel cladding tubes. Creep-rupture curves for 9Cr-ODS claddings were linear shape as a function of long rupture time, although it is well known that those curves for conventional martensitic steels have a sigmoidal shape to long rupture times. The failure temperatures for 9Cr-ODS steels decreased with decreasing the heating rate in a manner to similar to PNC-FMS claddins. However, transient burst strengths for 9Cr-ODS were much higher than those for PNC-FMS at all conditions. Using these data, discussions were carried out on a technique for evaluating rupture life of ODS steel cladding after various load-time-temperature histories.
