According to embodiments, a light water reactor uranium fuel assembly is capable of reducing heating values of both Am-241 and Cm-244, to reduce the amount of generated vitrified waste without using fast reactors. The light water reactor uranium fuel assembly is a light water reactor uranium fuel assembly to be used in a nuclear fuel cycle that extracts. An americium isotope is extracted at the time of reprocessing of spent fuel to be added to a fuel, in which a weight fraction W (unit: wt %) of americium 241 to be added to a fuel heavy metal is in ranges of

A pneumatic tire comprises a sidewall portion of which outer surface is provided with a decorative portion extending in the tire circumferential direction in an arc shape. The decorative portion is formed from a first pattern area and a second pattern area having different surface aspects. When the decorative portion is divided into a number N of decorative zones (N&#x3e;2) by equally-spaced parallel straight lines which are perpendicular to a reference center line extending in a tire radial direction, percentages of occupied area of the first pattern area in the respective decorative zones are gradually increased from the radially innermost decorative zone to the radially outermost decorative zone.
