Sodium cooled fast reactor with mixed oxide fueled core is one of the promising candidates in "Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor Cycle System" in Japan. The results of the study on the reactor core and fuel design in the JFY2005 are reported. (1)Design studies of high internal conversion (HIC) type core: (i)Influence of TRU composition variation on the HIC type core and fuel designs was evaluated. (ii)In adopting PNC-FMS steel as alternative cladding material of ODS steel, influence to the reactor core and fuel design was evaluated for the large-scale HIC type core. (iii)Shielding property of the large-scale HIC type core was evaluated. (iv)Some measures to extend the lifetime of control rod were studied for the large-scale HIC type core. (2)Design study on high breeding performance: The core design corresponding to a requirement of high breeding performance was studied based on the large-scale compact type core designed in the JFY2004.

Boron Carbide B4C pellet is an important part of control rod used to control the reactivity of nuclear reactors. B4C pellet put in a nuclear reactor suffers heavy radiation damage and deformation, which result in a partial destruction and shorten the lifetime of B4C. It is important to improve the characteristics of the B4C pellets for extension of its lifetime. As the results, if the control rod without the shroud will be available, we can realize much simpler structure. In order to improve, the B4C pellet, which was sintered by the hot-press methods, we have re-sintered it by high power millimeter wave ceramics nano-indentation test. The increase of the plasticity is observed. The same improvement of plasticity was observed in alumina pellets that were sintered by millimeter wave sintering methods. Such results imply that the further improvement is expected, if the B4C pellet is sintered from powder specimen by the high power millimeter-wave sintering method. To simulate a partial destruction of B4C pellet under the thermal stress, preliminary internal heating experiments of B4C pellet are performed by using high power millimeter-wave. At the difference between internal and surface temperatures of 1000C, the partial destructions and small cracks are observed in B4C pellet. Thes may be a kind of model experiment for destruction of B4C pellet irradiated by neutrons.

For the fuel debris management, we develop the preparation techniques for highly porous geopolymer, which would be used as the matrix of neutron absorber as well as hydrogen recombiner. By adding silicon powder to the raw materials, and hot water in mixing, we demonstrated the capability to prepare geopolymer with high fractions of open pores.
