Inventory estimation of long-lived fission products (LLFPs) in high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) from spent nuclear fuels of light water reactors is important for a safety assessment of their disposal. In order to develop an inventory estimation method of difficult-to-measure LLFPs (Se-79, Tc-99, Sn-126, and Cs-135), a parametric study was carried out by using a sophisticated burnup calculation code and data. In the parametric study, fuel specifications and irradiation conditions are changed in the conceivable range. The considered parameters are fuel assembly types (PWR / BWR), U-235 enrichment, moderator temperature, void fraction, power density, and so on. From the calculated results, we clarify the burnup characteristics of the target LLFPs and their possible ranges of generations. Finally, candidates of the key nuclide are proposed for the scaling factor method of HLW.

Rearrangements of 2-adamantene 3, adamantylidene 4, and 4-protoadamantylidene 5 have been studied theoretically using high level ab initio computations. Adamantene 3 and adamantylidene 4 have singlet ground states. The conversion of 3 into 4 via 1,2 hydrogen migration ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 69.1 kcal mol-1) cannot compete with 1,2 carbon migration of 3 to 5 (30.3 kcal mol-1). The singlet carbene 5 rearranges to 2,4-dehydroadamantane 6 and 4,5-protoadamantene 9 via 1,3H and 1,2H shifts, respectively, with identical activation barriers of 8.8 kcal mol-1. The 1,2 migration of the bridge hydrogen in 5 leading to 3,4 protoadamantene 8 has a higher activation barrier (37.2 kcal mol-1). A retro Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 3 to 5-allyl-3-methylenecyclohex-1-ene 7 is the main channel of the unimolecular conversion of 3 ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 20.5 kcal mol-1). A predicted ratio of 7 > > 6 approx 9 of the products of thermolysis of 3 is in agreement with experimental data. The rearrangement of 4 into 6 via the 1,3H shift ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 11.8 kcal mol-1) dominates over the 1,2C shift of 4 to 8 (13.5 kcal mol-1), also in accord with experiment.Key words: adamantene, protoadamantenes, carbenes, rearrangements, ab initio, computation.
