The catalyst part is accommodated in the treatment cabinet and oxidizes unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas. When a temperature of the catalyst part is lower than a predetermined normal operating temperature, the catalyst part oxidizes carbon monoxide contained in the exhaust gas and uses oxidation reaction heat of carbon monoxide, to thereby raise the temperature of the catalyst part up to the normal operating temperature or higher. Even when the temperature of the exhaust gas supplied to the catalyst part is lower than the normal operating temperature, it is thereby possible to quickly raise the temperature of the catalyst part up to the normal operating temperature por higher.

This information device (1) comprises: a reconstruction unit (103) for generating reconstructed data obtained by reconstructing time series data (111) from a frequency component of a part of the time series data, said times series data being obtained by observing a phenomenon to be analyzed in a plant; and an analysis unit (104) that performs spatio-temporal analysis of the reconstructed data and generates a dynamic model (112).
A method of improving residual stress in a canister in which fuel assemblies are loaded includes, when the canister having a cylindrical canister shell and a canister lid welded to the upper opening of the canister shell is disposed in a cylindrical cask body, filling the space above and around an upper end portion of the canister in the cask body with fill water. Then, compressive stress is applied to a predetermined region of the upper end portion of the canister in the fill water. This makes it possible to readily apply compressive stress to the canister while shielding radioactive rays by the fill water.
