Recruitment for Special Topic Researcher
-Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science-

1. 1. Number of employees

      Researcher: 1 person

   2. Recruitment theme:

      "Research on chemisorption behaviors between cesium and stainless steels"
      Cesium (Cs) chemisorption onto stainless steels (SS) under severe accident conditions need to be clarified to estimate the amount of Cs present in upper regions of the reactor pressure vessels in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which should be a concern for radiation exposure of workers. A chemisorption model is to be established through experiments under simulated accident conditions such as temperature and atmosphere, considering major chemical species identified by the experiments.
      (This work will be conducted as part of JFY2014 supplementary budget "subsidiary fund for Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management (Upgrading level of grasping state inside reactor)")
