現存する大出力陽子加速器では頻繁にビームトリップ事象が発生するため、加速器駆動核変換システム(ADS)の未臨界炉を構成する機器に対して熱疲労損傷を生じる可能性がある。すでに、この影響を熱過渡解析に基づき評価し、ビームトリップ時間毎に許容されるビームトリップ頻度を求め、既存の加速器(米国LANSCE及び高エネルギー加速器研究機構(KEK)電子・陽電子線形加速器)の運転データよりADS用加速器のビームトリップ頻度を推定した。その結果、ビームトリップ時間が10秒を超えるビームトリップ頻度は許容値を6$$sim$$35倍上回っていた。本研究では、新たにJ-PARCリニアックの運転データを解析し、各機器でビームトリップ事象が発生する確率密度関数を推定した。そして得られた確率密度関数に従い、モンテカルロ法で各機器の稼働状態を決定し、ADS用加速器のビームトリップ頻度を推定した。その結果、ビームトリップ時間が10秒を超えるビームトリップ頻度は既報の値よりも小さくなったが、まだ許容値を3$$sim$$10倍上回っていることがわかった。さらに、ビームトリップ頻度を低減させ、許容値を満たすために、加速管のビームトリップ頻度の目標値を試算したので報告する。

Frequent beam trips as experienced in existing high-power proton accelerators may cause thermal fatigue in Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) components, which may lead to degradation of their structural integrity and reduction of their lifetime. In the previous study, the thermal transient analyses were performed to investigate the effects of beam trips on the reactor components. In order to consider methods to reduce beam-trip frequency, we compared the acceptable beam-trip frequency with the performance of the ADS accelerator, which was estimated based on the operational data on existing accelerators, the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). The comparison showed that for beam trips with durations exceeding 10 s, beam-trip frequencies were about 6 to 35 times larger than acceptable values. In the present study, the operational data on J-PARC Linac were newly analyzed and probability density functions (pdf) of beam trips for the ion source and the accelerator tube of the J-PARC Linac was obtained. Using the Monte Carlo method based on the beam-trip pdf, the beam-trip frequencies of the ADS accelerator were estimated. As the result of the estimation, the beam-trip frequencies with durations exceeding 10 s were less than the previous values, but about 3 to 10 times larger than acceptable values. In the presentation, the reliability of the accelerator tube to satisfy the acceptable beam-trip frequency will be mentioned.
