Cavitation damage on a target vessel due to proton beam-induced pressure waves is one of the crucial issues for the pulsed neutron source using a mercury spallation target. As a mitigation technique for the damage, the helium microbubble injection into the mercury has been carried out by using a swirl bubbler in order to utilize compressibility of bubbles. Moreover, double-walled structure, which consists of an outer wall and an inner wall, has been applied as the target head structure. In this study, we aim to develop an abnormality diagnostic technology to detect the inner wall cracking, which is caused by such cavitation damage, from the outside of the target vessel. The mercury flow fields in the case with the cracking are evaluated by computational fluid dynamics analysis based on finite element method. And then, effect of the cracking on the flow field is discussed from the point of view of the flow-induced vibration and the acoustic vibration.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:66.71(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)To enhance neutron intensity below cold neutrons, it is proposed that nanosized graphene aggregation could facilitate neutron coherent scattering under particle size conditions similar to nanodiamond. It might also be possible to use it in high neutron radiation conditions due to graphene's strong sp2 bonds. Using the RIKEN accelerator-driven compact neutron source and iMATERIA at J-PARC, we performed neutron measurement experiments, total neutron cross-section, and small-angle neutron scattering on nanosized graphene aggregation. The measured data revealed, for the first time, that nanosized graphene aggregation increased the total cross-sections and small-angle scattering in the cold neutron energy region, most likely due to coherent scattering, resulting in higher neutron intensities, similar to nanodiamond.

A thermal-resistant fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabricated by femtosecond laser processing was examined to evaluate the performance as a strain sensor, compared with a conventional FBG sensor. Each FBG was affixed on a stainless-steel beam along with a strain gauge to measure the Bragg wavelength shift as a function of strain. We used the intensity of the reflection spectra from the FBGs as a weighting factor to determine the Bragg wavelengths. Although the strain sensitivity for the thermal-resistant FBG was found to be 0.34 pm/, a measurement accuracy of 3 was able to be achieved by employing the Bragg wavelength determination algorithm, which was comparable to a measurement accuracy of 2 for the conventional FBG sensor.

A Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is a powerful method of vibration of a structure and the leading methods of carrying out modification monitoring. However, since the FBG sensor which exists now does not have high temperature resistance, use in a high temperature plant is difficult. In recent years, the micro fabrication to high embrittlement materials, such as quartz, became possible by development of ultra fast pulsed laser. We performed the non-heat laser processing to the optical fiber using femto-second pulsed laser.

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is the periodic refractive-index structure in an optical fiber core, where the light of a specific wavelength is reflected. It can be used as temperature or a distorted sensor by measuring change of the reflective wavelength of FBG. We processed FBG using a Chirped Pulse Amplification titanium sapphire laser. As a result, we confirmed produced FBG had the tolerance at the high temperature. The heat-resistant FBG sensor developed using ultra-short pulse laser processing will contribute to the surveillance of power plants.

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor system is a powerful method of detecting strain and temperature of a structure, and is put in practical use widely. However, a general FBG sensor system has a fault without tolerance in high temperature. We performed the micro fabrication in the silica fiber by the point by point method using femtosecond pulse laser. As a result, we succeeded in heat-resistant creation of FBG.

The fiber Bragg grating sensor with heat-resistance in microfabrication that used the ultrafast pulse laser was produced. The sensing system optimized to the characteristic of the produced sensor was designed, produced, and the distortion of piping in a mock plant and the examination of the vibration measurement were done. The result of current development is summarized, and the development task in the future is clarified.
