TRP has stored the plutonium in solution state for long-term since the last PCDF operation in 2007 was finished. After the great east Japan earthquake in 2011, JAEA had investigated the risk against potential hazard of these solutions which might lead to make hydrogen explosion and/or boiling of the solution accidents with the release of radioactive materials to the public when blackout. To reduce the risk for storing Pu solution (about 640 kg Pu), JAEA planned to perform the process operation for the solidification and stabilization of the solution by converted into MOX powder at PCDF in 2013. In order to perform PCDF operation without adaption of new safety regulation, JAEA conducted several safety measures such as emergency safety countermeasures, necessary security and safeguards (3S) measures with understanding of NRA. As a result, the PCDF operation had stared on 28th April, 2014, and successfully completed to convert MOX powder on 3rd August, 2016 for about 2 years as planned.

In safety assessments of the geological disposal of TRU waste, it is important to understand the possibility and extents of influence of hyperalkaline groundwater derived from the degradation of cementitious materials that are used as forms for the containment of waste and as constructional materials in the disposal facilities of TRU waste. In this research, reactive transport analyses of hyperalkaline plume induced by cementitious materials were performed to clarify the extent of the hyperalkaline groundwater spreading and the type of alterations occurring with or without considering the precipitation of zeolite. The effect of the groundwater velocities on the spread of hyperalkaline groundwater was also examined. The analysis results indicate that whether zeolites precipitate or not significantly affect extent of hyperalkaline groundwater and the amount of precipitation of secondary minerals. In the case that groundwater velocity was 10 times higher, hyperalkaline groundwater spread broader than the original groundwater velocity case. It might be due to our kinetic dissolution model of host rock minerals, which limits chemical reactions neutralizing hyperalkaline groundwater.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：34(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Fast ignition is a new scheme in laser fusion, in which higher energy gain with a smaller laser pulse energy is expected. At Osaka University, a laser with four beams and a total output of 10 kJ ps-1, laser for fast ignition experiment (LFEX), has been constructed and we have carried out an integrated experiment with one beam of the LFEX. Through experiments it was found that the coupling efficiency is degraded when the laser pre-pulse is not sufficiently small. Furthermore, the distance between the hot electron source and the core plasma is large. In this paper it is proposed that a thin foil covers the laser entrance of the cone to mitigate the pre-plasma and a double cone reduces the loss of high energy electrons from the side wall of the cone. The simulations indicate that a higher coupling efficiency is expected for the double cone target with a thin foil at the laser entrance.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has contributed to development of the structural standard for superconducting magnets entitled "Codes for Fusion Facilities - Rules on Superconducting Magnet Structure (2008)" issued by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) in October 2009. This code consists of 7 sections, such as general requirements including quality assurance, material, design, fabrication (welding), non-destructive examination, pressure and leak test, and terminology. This paper describes technical contents on material section of the code. The feature of the code is to specify cryogenic materials such as JJ1, which was newly developed by JAEA, and 316LN, which is calcified by the carbon and nitrogen (C+N) contents. The design strengths from room temperature to cryogenic temperature of these materials are given in a quadratic function when the materials are as-solution heat-treated.

Times Cited Count：61 Percentile：86.86(Biochemical Research Methods)Rhenium-186-1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonate (
Re-HEDP) has been used for the palliation of metastatic bone pain. Delayed blood clearance and high gastric uptake of radioactivity have been observed upon injection, due to the instability of Re-HEDP in vivo. In this study, on the basis of the concept of bifunctional radiopharmaceuticals, we designed a stable Re-mercaptoacetylglycylglycylglycine (MAG3) complex-conjugated bisphosphonate (Re-MAG3-HBP). After purification by HPLC, Re-MAG3-HBP was synthesized with a radiochemical purity of over 95%. In biodistribution experiments, the radioactivity level ofRe-MAG3-HBP in bone was significantly higher than that of Re-HEDP. Blood clearance of Re-MAG3-HBP was faster than that of Re-HEDP. In addition, the gastric accumulation of Re-MAG3-HBP radioactivity was lower than that of Re-HEDP. In conclusion, Re-MAG3-HBP is expected to be a useful radiopharmaceutical for the palliation of metastatic bone pain.

The external gelation process is one of the candidates of MOX particle fuel fabrication for advanced recycle system. It was necessary to perform preliminary fuel fabrication with uranium before starting MOX tests. As the result of the preliminary examination, Basics conditions of the fabrication were obtained: (1)Optimized uranyl nitrate solution and PVA solution, as raw materials were prepared. (2)The frequency of vibration and the amount of flow were obtained with optimized broth (mixture) in the vibration dropping process. (3)The influence of composition of broth and concentration of ammonia solution on gelation process was obtained. (4)Impurities after aging, washing and drying spHerical gel were surveyed, (5)The spherical gel were calcined to oxide particles and the particles were characterized by TG-DTA, therefore it is certain that outlook on the sintered particles as final products is very clear. On the top of that, there were no fatal technicalities of the external gelation process through material balance and a diameter dispersion of spherical gel and oxide particles. It is necessary to perform uranium examination to solve some new problems, for instant, surface crack of spherical gel. Although almost of all the preparations are completed and fabrication examination of MOX particles with vibration dropping equipment are ready for starting.
