A 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) at J-PARC was commissioned in October 2007. Afterwards, the beam intensity was increased through a beam study, and the RCS has continuously provided a proton beam 100 kW to the neutron target since October 2009. With renewed efforts brought about by beam commissioning, we have reduced losses in the RCS and achieved low-loss operation. We present the history of the operational beam power and the residual dose distributions after operation.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:53.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)A liquid lithium(Li) target of International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is formed as flat plane free-surface flow by a nozzle and flows at high speed around 15 m/s. This paper focuses on flatness of the liquid Li target. A Li flow experiment was conducted in Osaka University Li Loop with a test section which was 1/2.5 scaled model of IFMIF. A thickness of the Li flow was measured and obtained by a contact method which was developed for the measurement. Analytical study on Kelvin wake and numerical calculation on wakes near side walls of the flow channel were also conducted and compared with the experimental results. As the results, positions of wake crest obtained from both of the experiment and numerical calculation assuming contact angle 140 agreed well with an iso-phase line of the analytical model. Generation of the wake are likely depends on wettability between Li and a structural material which is 304SS in the present study.

Based on the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique, a local Li flow velocity distribution was measured by tracking brightness intensity patterns of surface waves generated on the flow. Measured surface velocity showed good agreement with a surface velocity obtained in previous water experiments, and had an insignificant effect at an area corresponding to a deuteron beam irradiation area on the IFMIF target.

In the experiment, Li plane jet of 10 mm in depth and 70 mm in width formed by a two contractions nozzle was tested in the velocity range of less than 15 m/s. In the present report, Li surface measurement by pattern projection method was tested. This is a three dimensional image measurement, where stripe patterns are projected onto the flow surface without touching it. The projected patterns were observed to be deformed according to the surface up- and- down. Three-dimensional surface shape could be obtained by analyzing the deformed patterns. By the method, shapes of wave pattern called surface wakes were successfully measured. The surface wakes were observed to be formed from the nozzle edge. It was found that the nozzle edge was damaged and became serrated after lithium flowing of 1,300 hours at this moment.

Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:81.55(Nuclear Science & Technology)For a study on characteristics of lithium target flow of International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), experiments were carried out by using a lithium loop at Osaka University. In the experiment, fluctuations of a free surface of the horizontal flow were directly measured by using an electro-contact probe acquiring condition of contact/non-contact of the probe with the flow surface as voltage data. Vertical location of the probe tip was set by 0.1 mm step. Horizontal location of the probe was 175 mm downstream from the nozzle exit, corresponding to the footprint of deuteron beam in the IFMIF case. It was found that the maximum amplitude of the surface wave, including rarely arising ones, was 2.2 mm at the center of the flow channel with width of 70 mm at the maximum flow velocity of 15 m/s. The average thickness of the flow was found to be 10.13 mm.

This report presents the results of vibration packing experiments and computational simulations of particle compaction behavior. Both sphere and shard particles were evaluated in these works. Experiments with simulated fuel palticles were conducted to investigate the factors affecting packing behavior. The factors are classified into geometrical and dynamics factors. With regard to the geometrical factors for sphere packing, the experimental results prove that the achievablc packing fraction can be predicted by the equation derived by Ayer, which is relationship of inner diameter of cladding and diameters of particles. As for the dynamics factors, less vibration displacement is preferable, because it produccs faster packing with less segregation. Similar experiments were conducted for the shard particles. The results indicate the packing characteristics of the shard particles are different from the sphere particles. Optimum weight ratio between particle sizes is different from the ratio given by Ayer's equation. As for the dynamics factors, the sweeping frequencies while packing were sufficient to obtain high packing fraction. Computational simulations were performed to investigate the particle behavior while packing. The movement of infiltrating and bed particles while packing was well understood.
