Abstract: A radioactive-material container includes a container body that shields nuclear radiation, which includes a cavity that stores a basket containing a recycle fuel assembly, a lid that covers the cavity, and a metal gasket that includes a sealing area that makes a physical contact with the container body and the lid. The sealing area has a specific shape that disperses tightening stress acting on the metal gasket for a sealing.

Abstract: A basket has a lattice-like section for accommodating individual used nuclear fuel in predetermined positions in a cask. The basket is made from aluminum composite material having good neutron absorption ability, excellent mechanical property and workability. The aluminum composite material is made by having, in an Al or Al alloy base phase, B or B compound with a neutron absorption ability and an additive element, e.g. Zr or Ti, for giving a high strength property, and subjecting to a sintering under pressure.

Abstract: An aluminum powder is mixed with a neutron absorber powder through cold isostatic press to form a preliminary molding. The preliminary molding is then subjected to sintering under no pressure in vacuum. After sintering, a billet is subjected to induction heating and hot extrusion to form a square pipe.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aluminum composite material having neutron absorbing power that improves the ability to absorb neutrons by increasing the content of B, while also being superior to materials of the prior art in terms of mechanical properties and workability. The aluminum composite material having neutron absorbing power contains in Al or an Al alloy matrix phase B or a B compound having neutron absorbing power in an amount such that the proportion of B is 1.5% by weight or more to 9% by weight or less, and the aluminum composite material has been pressure sintered.

Abstract: A liquid treating unit includes a module comprising a channel member for collecting a product liquid for recovery; a semipermeable membrane member liquid-tightly joined to the channel member and made from a semipermeable membrane strip by alternately folding the strip longitudinally thereof to provide feed liquid passages and product liquid passages on the front and rear sides of the membrane respectively, each pair of product liquid passages defining leaf portions of the membrane being adhered at each end of the passage to liquid-tightly close the product liquid passage only; spacers inserted into the feed liquid passages; and a covering member surrounding the outer periphery of the membrane member. The feed liquid passages therefore have a regulated cross sectional area to permit the feed liquid to flow through the passages in parallel and straight direction at an increased speed relative to the membrane surface, ensuring a reduction in dead space and efficient use of the membrane.

Abstract: Fruit wines excellent in taste and bouquet can be manufactured from fruit juices of low sugar content by subjecting the crude fruit juices to a semi-permeable membrane separation process (reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration), thereby to concentrate the crude fruit juices. The time periods required for fermenting the concentrated fruit juices and aging the wines made therefrom are considerably shorter in comparison with other wine-making processes.
