In the MOX fuel fabrication process, a dry recycle technology has been developed to effectively utilize dry recovered powder obtained by crushing out of specification MOX pellets. The particle size of the dry recovery powder is divided into three classes; coarse size (about 250 m or less), medium size (about 100 m or less), and fine size (about 10 m or less) by the current crushers, and the effect of controlling the density of sintered pellets is obtained to a certain extent by adding the dry recovered powder to the raw powder. In this report, with the aim of more finely adjusting the particle size of the dry recovery powder, a buhrstone mill and a collision plate-type jet mill were selected as grinders that can adjust the dry recovered powder within a particle size range of 250 m or less, and the particle size adjustment test was conducted to pulverize the tungsten-carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) pellets as a simulated material for the MOX pellets. The buhrstone mill can control the particle size within a certain range by adjusting the grindstone clearance, but particles with a particle size of 250 m or more may be discharged. On the contrary, it is expected that the particle size of the collision plate-type jet mill can be controlled in the range of 250 m or less by adjusting the classification zone clearance. Therefore, the collision plate-type jet mill is more suitable for adjusting the particle size of the dry recovered powder than the buhrstone mill.

In the MOX fuel fabrication process, the dry grinding technology of mixed oxide pellets have been developed for the effective use of nuclear fuel materials. To develop a technology to control the particle size of dry recovered powder, the performance of the buhrstone mill and the collision plate type jet mill were studied using a simulated powder of particle size distribution about 500 m. We found that the particle size can be controlled at the range of about 250 m or less by both by adjusting the clearance between the grinding wheels of the buhrstone mill, and the clearance and elevation angle of the clarification zone of the collision plate type jet mill. And furthermore, the collision plate type jet mill is considered to be suitable for particle size control because the operating parameters of the classifier can be finely adjusted.

It is necessary to control the pellet densities for the purpose of securing margin against swelling for nitride fuel for transmutation of minor actinide. Appropriate polymer particles will be applied as a pore former in order to decrease the density. This study aimed to investigate the influence of various milling parameters on the densities of sintered DyZrN solid solution as surrogate nitride fuel in order to obtain fundamental knowledge for controlling sintered density with pore former. The sintered pellet densities are studied under various milling condition. The measurement of specific surface area clarifies that finer powder can be obtained with WC. However, the achieved densities of the sintered pellets show that the denser pellets can be obtained with SiN in spite of the smaller specific surface area.

For the purpose of pulverizer selection for a dry recycled MOX powder with the size distribution suitable for a sintered density adjustment of MOX pellet, characterisity and performance of several types of pulverizer were evaluated. In this session, results of pulverizing characterisity of two jet mills with different working pressure are reported.

The optimizing the centrifugal classifier which influences the classification performance of collision plate-type jet mill was examined for the purpose of the particle size adjustment of recycle powder the MOX pellets. In order to adjust the particle size of recycle powder to 10-250 m, the pulverization test of the simulated raw powder was carried out using the newly prepared components as a parameter. The prospect that the particle size can be adjusted within the range of 10-250 m for recycle powder was obtained by optimizing the parameter of the centrifugal classifier of collision plate-type jet mill.

The reworking of out of specification pellets is required for the effective use of nuclear fuel material and for reduction of the plutonium inventory in fuel fabrication facilities. It is known that the sintering density of mixed oxide pellets can be controlled without a pore-former by controlling the amount and particle size of the recovered powder in the raw powder. The collision plate type jet mill was separated into the classifier and the mill chamber, and these modules were used independently. The peak position shifted to smaller sizes gradually over the five cycles of classification and pulverization. The collision plate type jet mill is a promising form of equipment to obtain particles with objective sizes as the main component of a powder.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been used out of specification mixed oxide (MOX) pellets as a dry recovered powder for the effective use of nuclear fuel material in the MOX fuel fabrication process. The densities of the sintered MOX pellets can be controlled to about 85 %T.D. without adding pore former by adjusting the amount and the particle size of the dry recovered powder into the raw powder. It is required to adjust the particle size of the dry recovered powder to under 250 m, the influence of the operating parameters of the collision plate-type jet mill on the characteristics of pulverization and the influence of pulverized powders on sintering properties were evaluated. The clearance was narrowed, the pulverized powders were confirmed to be adjusted for the particle diameter of under 250 m, and the pellet prepared from the pulverized powder with density of about 85.0 %T.D. was obtained.

JAEA has developed the fuel powder recycling technology, in which the scrap pellet is pulverized and mixed into raw fuel powder. By analyzing particle size distribution before and after pulverization, it is shown that the pulverized powder consist of 3 types of particles with different character of particle size distribution. Furthermore the prediction method for particle size distribution of pulverized powder was investigated.
