        The damaged spent fuel rods must be stabilized by encapsulation or dry re-fabrication technologies before geological disposal. For applying the dry re-fabrication technology, we manufactured a vertical type furnace to perform both fuel material recovery from damaged fuel rods by oxidative decladding and sinterability improvement of fuel powder by repetition of oxidative and reaction treatment. A horizontal type furnace provides only a diffusion-controlled reaction resulting in longer reaction time and decreasing amount of powder for oxidation and reduction, whereas a vertical type furnace with a submerged gas distributor gives rapid reaction due to flowing gas-solid contact by fluidization. For observation of fluidization behaviors of uranium oxides at room temperature, fluidized column was prepared with transparent cylindrical tube, pressure transmitter and gas flow meter. Number of size of orifice holes was determined by equations in Fluidization Engineering [D.Kunii, O. Levenspiel]. Before uranium oxide test, as surrogates, WO2 (10.8 g/cm3) and Ta2O5 (8.2 g/cm3) powder similar to density of UO2 (10.96 g/cm3) and U3O8 (8.3 g/cm3), respectively were used to achieve fluidization operation conditions in the region from minimum to expanded fluidization. Fluidization behaviors and pressure drop of powder bed was observed according to operation parameters such as gas velocity, number and size of orifice holes, and powder amount.
