Abstract
Research on laser Compton scattering gamma-ray-based nuclear transmutation has been carried out to identify a method of reducing the hazards of long-lifetime radioactivity of nuclear waste. To study the photonuclear reaction experimentally, a laser Compton scattering gamma-ray facility was built on a storage ring at NewSUBARU and ~17MeV gamma-ray photons were produced. An investigation on the reaction rate of radioactive iodine waste was carried out. Based on the characteristics of laser Compton scattering gamma rays, a cylindrical target was adopted for the irradiation experiment. The radioactivity of the irradiated target was measured and the transmutation reaction rate was deduced. Experimental results were close to simulation findings.
