The research and development (R&D) on the production of $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{99m}$$Tc by (n,$$gamma$$) method has been carried out in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center. The $$^{99}$$Mo production by (n,$$gamma$$) reaction is a simple and easy method, and it also is advantageous from viewpoints of nuclear proliferation resistance and waste management. However, it is difficult to produce the $$^{99m}$$Tc solution with high radioactive concentration because the specific radioactivity of $$^{99}$$Mo by this method is extremely low. Up to now, various Mo absorbents such as Polyzirconium Compound (PZC) and Polytitanium Compound (PTC) have been developed with high Mo adsorption efficiency. It is necessary for utilization to the generator of these absorbents to evaluate the effect of elements containing these absorbents and to assure the quality of $$^{99m}$$Tc solution. In this report, the status of R&D of the Mo adsorbents was investigated. The alumina as Mo adsorbent, which uses in medical $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{99m}$$Tc generator, was focused and Mo adsorption/desorption properties of three kinds of alumina was evaluated by different properties such as crystal structure and specific surface.

Treatment of highly contaminated water with highly selective adsorbents mainly composed of zeolites

Mimura, Hitoshi*; Yamagishi, Isao

Zeoraito, 31(4), p.115 - 124, 2014/12

Massive tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake attacked the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and caused the nuclear accident of level 7 to overturn the safety myth of nuclear power generation. The domestic worst accident does not yet reach the convergence, and many inhabitants around the power plant are forced to double pains of earthquake disaster and nuclear accident. At present, large amounts of high-activity-level water over 500,000 tons are stored in Fukushima NPP-1 site, which is a serious obstacle to take measures for the nuclear accident. For the decontamination of high-activity-level water containing seawater, the circulating injection cooling system using packed columns with inorganic ion-exchangers is operated and the cold shutdown is accomplished. However, the advancement of operating system and the safety management of secondary solid wastes are very important subject. In this paper, the adsorption properties and solidification characteristics are compared for Cs and Sr selective adsorbents mainly composed of zeolites and the enhancement of adsorption properties are reported. Especially, naturally occurring zeolites abundant in Japan have high selectivity towards Cs, and also have excellent functions of gas trapping and self sintering for stable solidification. Zeolites are thus expected for the treatment and disposal of contaminated water in future. This paper also reports the present situation of safety management of solid wastes and the development of stable solidification methods, and summarizes the future subjects considering the safety disposal.

Morphology-controlled synthesis of Mo compounds from a nitric acid solution by the microwave heating and/or Zr-addition

Osaka, Masahiko; Tanaka, Kosuke; Sekine, Shinichi; Akutsu, Yoko; Suzuki, Tatsuya*; Mimura, Hitoshi*

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 427(1-3), p.384 - 388, 2012/08

 Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:32.06(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)

Morphology-controlled synthesis of Mo compounds from a nitric acid solution by microwave heating was investigated for effective utilizations of Mo fission product from a high level nuclear waste. The microwave heating method was revealed to greatly accelerate crystallization and crystal growth of the synthesized powder. Addition of a small amount of Zr stabilized synthesis of a hexagonal-MoO$$_{3}$$ powder. Furthermore, the microwave heating with Zr-addition has synthesized a specific urchin-like shaped hexagonal-MoO$$_{3}$$ crystal having a good crystallinity. The present methods would be useful for effective utilization of Mo from high level nuclear waste in terms of their practicability and ability to the morphology control.

We report the first X-ray diffraction patterns recorded from single axonemes of eukaryotic flagella with a diameter of only $$<$$0.2 $$mu$$m, by using the technique of cryomicrodiffraction. A spermatozoon isolated from Drosophila melanogaster, was mounted straight in a glass capillary, quickly frozen and its 800-$$mu$$m segment was irradiated end-on with intense synchrotron radiation X-ray microbeams (diameter, 2 $$mu$$m) at 74 K. Well-defined diffraction patterns were recorded, consisting of a large number of isolated reflection spots. The patterns had features of an 18-fold rotational symmetry as expected from the axonemal structure. The diffraction patterns were compared with the results of model calculations based on a published electron micrograph of the Drosophila axoneme. The comparison provided information on the native state of axoneme, including estimates of axonemal diameter and interdoublet spacing.

Characterization and adsorption properties of selective adsorbents for high decontamination of cesium

Mimura, Hitoshi*; Yamagishi, Isao

Nihon Ion Kokan Gakkai-Shi, 23(1), p.6 - 20, 2012/02

Large amounts of seawater contaminated with radioactive cesium accumulated in the nuclear accident of Fukushima NPP1. As of December, 2011, the circulating injection cooling system is effectively operated and the cold shutdown is completed, while the amounts of high-activity-level water are estimated to be over 200,000 m$$^{3}$$ in future. However, at present, the treatment and disposal methods for the solid wastes (zeolites, insoluble ferrocyanides and crystalline silicotitanate) are not yet decided. In particular, there is no experience in the treatment and disposal of high decontamination solid materials such as insoluble ferrocyanides and crystalline silicotitanate. Hence the development of effective treatment and disposal methods are very urgent and important subjects. This special issue deals with the characterization and adsorption properties of selective adsorbents for high decontamination of cesium and the subjects for the treatment and disposal of solid wastes.

Adv.-ORIENT cycle strategy has been proposed as a basic concept for trinitarian research on separation, transmutation and utilization of nuclides and elements based on FBR fuel cycle. Validation of principal separation method and related safety research were performed from 2006 through 2011 as Phase I program. First, more than 90% of Cs could be recovered from the actual spent fuel [IXC(I) step]. The next is the adsorption of the platinum group metals (PGM), lanthanides, Am and Cm were separated by using a tertiary pyridine-type resin (TPR) as ion exchange steps [IXC(II, III, IV) steps]. The separated PGM metals will be supplied to the electrochemical extraction [CEE step]. As experiment for safety issues, Hastelloy-B at RT and Ta at 90$$^{circ}$$C were confirmed their anti-corrosive in highly concentrated HCl media. Thermo-chemical stability for TPR was verified. Issues to be solved for next phase based on the final results of phase I program.

Immobilisation of caesium by zeolites and characterisation of ceramic solid forms

Tomiyama, Shin*; Mimura, Hitoshi*; Niibori, Yuichi*; Yamagishi, Isao; Morita, Yasuji

Proceedings of 11th OECD/NEA Information Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation (Internet), 10 Pages, 2012/00

The immobilization of Cs has been studied by the calcination of the Cs-form of various kinds of mordenites. In this study, the effect of various parameters such as calcining temperature and time, components in mordenites, conditions for cold and hot pressing, on the immobilization of Cs in ceramic products are evaluated by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), density balance (Archimedes' method), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Results showed that recrystallization to the stable ceramic solid forms of CsAlSi$$_{5}$$O$$_{12}$$ was achieved only in calcination of Synthetic Mordenite-C which contains Ti and Fe as binder. The Cs-form mordenites were pelletized into a disk by cold isostatic pressing and the density of the solid forms increased with calcining temperature and time.

Novel concepts for effective utilization of molybdenum (Mo) from nuclear waste and magnesium silicates from hazardous asbestos wastes are proposed. A fast reactor cycle scheme that incorporates each material is described in the present paper. Basic studies on some fundamental technologies for the present cycle are given. Basic separation aspects for Mo by using LIX63 micro capsules and tertiary pyridine resin were investigated. A simple chemical synthesis route for Mo precursor powder from Mo containing HNO$$_{3}$$ solution was tested. Effects of impurities in recovered Mo on sintering behavior were experimentally investigated.
