Abstract
The fractional distillation characteristics of the materials used for the reactor pressure vessel made of ASTM A302B and the structures in reactor made of SUS304 which are the radioactive metallic waste of Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR) were analyzed numerically. In the simulation, the vaporization rates of the components of the waste were calculated by using the Langmuir's equation and Henry's law. As the result of simulation, it was calculated that 152Eu, 154Eu, 14C and 94Nb can be reduced to less than clearance level by the fractional distillation. On the ASTM A302B case, it was pointed out that the other radioactive nuclei which are 54Mn, 60Co, 59Ni and 63Ni satisfy clearance level after 77 years cooling down. On the SUS304 case, it was pointed out that 59Ni and 63Ni must be separated to satisfy clearance level using isotope separation.
