Research Abstract	本研究では、軽水炉の高燃焼度化に伴って現れる燃料および炉心材料の微細組織変化と力学的性質の劣化機構を解明するための実験方法を確立すること、およびそれに基づいて耐高燃焼度燃料および炉心材料を開発することを目的としている。本年度の主な研究成果は以下の3つに分けられる。 (1)平成7年度に開発した微小試験領域の力学的試験法を用いてイオン照射した金属の極微小領域の力学的性質の変化を明らかにすると共に微細組織の発達過程を調べ、両者の比較から照射硬化機構について議論した。また平成8年度に購入した微小硬さ試験機を用いてビッカース硬度と降伏応力を関係づける新たなモデルを提案した。 (2)平成7年度に開発した照射下電気伝導度「その場」測定装置を用いて酸化物セラミックスの照射下電気伝導測定を行い、照射誘起電気伝導および照射誘起絶縁破壊現象について議論した。さらにジルカロイ被覆管表面の酸化膜についても照射下電気伝導測定を行い、ノジュラー腐食が電子伝導に律速されていることを明らかにした。 (3)ジルカロイ被覆管中の金属間化合物析出相の照射下安定牲について理論および実験の両面から研究を進めた。照射温度および照射線量率の関数として析出粒子の相安定性を計算し、照射誘起不規則化過程と回復過程の競合について知見を得た。
