巨大地震に対する原子力プラント等の耐震安全評価に資するため、プラント構造物の地震時挙動を把握し現実的応答解析を可能とすることは重要な課題となっている。プラント構造の地震時挙動に大きな影響を与える部位のひとつに接合部が挙げられる。特に鉄骨造配管支持構造物(以下、パイプラックと称す)の部材接合部のモデル化は従来経験的手法に依存しており、ピンまたは剛とみなして保守的な評価がなされてきた。そこで本研究では、接合部の3次元詳細モデルを活用し、より現実的な挙動を再現するための接合部モデル化手法を開発することを最終目的とする。前報のその1及びその2では、これまでに開発した3次元詳細解析技術を活用し、プラント鉄骨構造物の接合部を対象として、弾性及び弾塑性領域における接合部の現実的な半剛接の剛性評価を実施し、接合部の簡易モデルを提案し、得られた結果について報告した。本論文では、前報までの接合部に着目したモデルではなく、パイプラック全体をモデル化し、パイプラックシステムとしての地震時挙動を把握することを目的に、地震応答解析による現実的応答解析・評価を実施する。3次元詳細解析による解析結果と、従来設計で用いられる梁要素によるパイプラックシステムの立体骨組構造の接合部に前報で提案した接合部の簡易モデルを適用した解析を実施し、双方の解析結果を比較し、得られた知見を整理する。これにより、梁要素を用いた実用レベルでの地震応答解析手法の高精度化を図ることが可能と考えられる。得られた成果を原子力施設の鉄骨構造物のモデル化に適用することで、プラント耐震安全性の合理的評価が期待される。

$$beta$$チタン合金は、優れた歪み硬化能を有する反面、降伏強度が低いという問題を抱えている。ここでは、Ti-12Mo(wt.%)準安定$$beta$$チタン合金の降伏強度の向上における結晶粒の微細化と格子間物質の添加の寄与について検討した。その結果、結晶粒の微細化は材料を強化するどころか、この合金の極限引張強度を低下させることがわかった。この予想外の異常な挙動は、ひずみ誘起$$alpha^{primeprime}$$マルテンサイト相変態が著しく促進されたことに起因しており、その場観察放射光X線回折分析により、この相が$$beta$$相よりはるかに軟らかいことが初めて明らかになった。また、酸素添加と結晶粒微細化の組み合わせにより、Ti-12Mo-0.3O(wt.%)合金において前例のない強度と延性の相乗効果が得られることが判明した。この三元合金における酸素溶質には2つの有利な点がある。第一に、溶質酸素は、微細な組織においても、歪みによる$$alpha^{primeprime}$$マルテンサイト相への変態を大きく抑制し、過剰な$$alpha^{primeprime}$$マルテンサイトによる軟化効果を回避することができる。次に、アトムプローブトモグラフィーで明らかになったように、酸素溶質が双晶境界に偏析しやすい。これにより、$${332}langle113rangle$$変形双晶の成長が抑制され、より広範な双晶の核生成が促進される。本研究で得られた知見は、強靭な準安定$$beta$$チタン合金を設計するための費用対効果の高い根拠となり、この高強度対重量構造材料のさらなる普及に大きな意味を持つ。

Dynamic transformation from alpha (HCP) to beta (BCC) phase in a zirconium alloy was revealed by the use of in-situ neutron diffraction during hot compression. The dynamic transformation was unexpectedly detected during isothermal compression at temperatures of 900$$^{circ}$$C and 950$$^{circ}$$C (alpha + beta two-phase region) and strain rates of 0.01 s$$^{-1}$$ and 0.001 s$$^{-1}$$, even though equilibrium two-phase states were achieved prior to the hot compression. Dynamic transformation was accompanied by diffusion of Sn from beta to alpha phase, which resulted in changes of lattice parameters and a characteristic microstructure of alpha grains. The details of dynamic transformation are discussed using the evolution of lattice constants.

本研究では、室温でのチタンの引張特性と変形挙動に及ぼす窒素含有量と結晶粒径の影響を体系的に調査した。巨大ひずみ加工と焼鈍により、超高降伏強度(1.04GPa)と大きな均一伸び(10%)の前例のない相乗効果を組み合わせた、完全再結晶微細構造を備えた超微細粒(UFG)Ti-0.3wt.%N合金が得られた。Ti-0.3wt.%N合金の硬化およびひずみ硬化メカニズムは、変形下部構造の観察と第一原理計算によって包括的に研究された。UFG Ti-0.3wt.%Nの優れた強度/延性バランスへの窒素の寄与は2倍であることが明らかになった。粒子内の窒素原子は、八面体から六面体のサイトへの窒素のシャッフルにより、角柱面上の$$<a>$$転位の運動を強く妨げ、純Tiの6倍の摩擦応力の増加を引き起こした。さらに、Ti-0.3wt.%N合金の柱面と錐面の間の積層欠陥エネルギー差が大幅に減少することで、$$<c+a>$$転位の活性化が容易になり、ひずみ硬化率の向上に寄与した。我々の実験的および理論的計算研究は、延性を大幅に犠牲にすることなく手頃な価格の高強度チタンの設計に関する知見を与える。

The decay of the 13/2$$^+$$ isomeric state in $$^{183}$$Hg was observed for the first time following the $$alpha$$ decay of the 13/2$$^+$$ isomer in $$^{187}$$Pb produced in the $$^{142}$$Nd$$(^{50}$$Cr$$, 2p3n)$$ reaction. Using $$alpha$$-$$gamma$$ delayed coincidence measurements, the half-life of this isomer was measured to be 290(30) $$mu$$s. This isomer is proposed to deexcite by an unobserved low-energy $$M$$2 transition to the known 9/2$$^-$$ member of a strongly prolate-deformed 7/2$$^-$$[514] band, followed by a 105-keV $$M$$1 transition to the bandhead. A lower limit of B($$M$$2)$$geq$$0.018 W.u. was deduced for the unobserved transition. The presumed retardation is proposed to be due to the notable shape change between the initial, nearly spherical, and the final, strongly deformed, states. A similar scenario is also considered for the 13/2$$^+$$ isomer in $$^{181}$$Hg, suggesting both are cases of shape isomers. The B($$M$$2) systematics of neutron transitions across the nuclear chart is discussed.

Two-step Mott transition in Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$; $$mu$$SR studies and charge-spin percolation model

A pyrite system NiS$$_{2-x}$$Se$$_x$$ exhibits a bandwidth controlled Mott transition via (S,Se) substitutions in a two-step process: the antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) to antiferromagnetic metal (AFM) transition at $$xsim$$0.45 followed by the AFM to paramagnetic metal (PMM) transition at $$xsim$$1.0. Among a few other Mott systems which exhibit similar two-step transitions, Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$ is of particular interest because a large intermediate AFM region in the phase diagram would provide unique opportunities to study the interplay between the spin and charge order. By comparing and combining our muon spin relaxation studies and previous neutron scattering studies, here we propose a picture where the spin order is maintained by the percolation of "nonmetallic" localized and dangling Ni moments surrounded by S, while the charge transition from AFI to AFM is caused by the percolation of the conducting paths generated by the Ni-Se-Ni bonds.

Prompt and delayed $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-deficient, semi-magic isotope $$^{187}$$Pb has been performed at the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer. A new 5.15(15)-$$mu$$s isomeric state at only 308 keV above the spherical 3/2$$^{-}$$ ground state is identified and classified as a shape isomer. A strongly-coupled band is observed on top of the isomer, which is nearly identical to the one built on the prolate 7/2$$^{-}$$[514] Nilsson state in the isotone $$^{185}$$Hg. Based on this similarity and on the result of the potential-energy surface calculations, the new isomer in $$^{187}$$Pb is proposed to originate from the same configuration. The retarded character of the 308-keV transition can be well explained by the significant difference between the prolate parent and spherical daughter configurations, leading to the shape isomerism. The combined results of the present work and the previous $$alpha$$-decay and laser spectroscopy studies present evidence for triple shape coexistence at low energy in the negative-parity configurations of $$^{187}$$Pb, which is well reproduced by the potential-energy surface calculations.

Load redistribution in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi$$_{2.1}$$ during high temperature deformation

Jaladurgam, N. R.*; Lozinko, A.*; Guo, S.*; Harjo, S.; Colliander, M. H.*

Materialia, 22, p.101392_1 - 101392_4, 2022/05

The load redistribution between and within phases in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi$$_{2.1}$$ was measured using in-situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation at 973 K. The load partitioning between phases is reversed compared to lower temperatures, with L1$$_{2}$$ becoming the stronger phase. The evolution of the orientation-specific stresses and strains in the L1$$_{2}$$ phase suggests that cube slip dominates the response. The low strength, internal load transfer and ideally plastic response of the B2 phase indicate a change in deformation mechanism compared to lower temperatures.

The long-lived $$^{60}$$Fe (with a half-life of 2.62 Myr) is a crucial diagnostic of active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way galaxy and in supernovae near the solar system. The neutron-capture reaction $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe on $$^{59}$$Fe (half-life=44.5 days) is the key reaction for the production of $$^{60}$$Fe in massive stars. This reaction cross section has been previously constrained by the Coulomb dissociation experiment, which offered partial constraint on the E1 $$gamma$$-ray strength function but a negligible constraint on the M1 and E2 components. In this work, for the first time, we use the surrogate ratio method to experimentally determine the $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe cross sections in which all the components are included. We derived a Maxwellian-averaged cross section of 27.5$$pm$$3.5 mb at $$kT$$ = 30 keV and 13.4$$pm$$1.7 mb at $$kT$$ = 90 keV, roughly 10%-20% higher than previous estimates. We analyzed the impact of our new reaction rates in nucleosynthesis models of massive stars and found that uncertainties in the production of $$^{60}$$Fe from the $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe rate are at most 25$$%$$. We conclude that stellar physics uncertainties now play a major role in the accurate evaluation of the stellar production of $$^{60}$$Fe.

本研究では、土壌中のSrを無添加でスクリーニングする方法の開発を目的として、模擬土壌(粘土鉱物のバーミキュライト,モンモリロナイト,カオリナイト)及び実際の土壌(照沼)に熱水浸出を行い、有機酸を生成した。安定ストロンチウム(SrCl$$_{2}$$)を土壌に吸着させ、10種類の有機酸を用いて、水熱条件下(120$$sim$$200$$^{circ}$$C)での模擬土壌からのSrの溶出量を0.3Mまで評価した。ストロンチウムを吸着したバーミキュライト(Sr-V)については、0.1Mのクエン酸が150$$^{circ}$$C、1時間の処理でSrの溶出に有効であることがわかった。これらの結果をもとに、照沼土壌の有機物からの有機酸の生成について検討した。照沼土壌の水熱処理では、200$$^{circ}$$C、0.5hの反応時間で最大量の有機酸が生成された。照沼土壌からのSrの溶出の可能性を確認するために、ストロンチウムを吸着した照沼土壌(Sr-S)を調べた。Sr-Sでは、200$$^{circ}$$Cで0.5hの反応時間で水熱処理を行うと、室温でSrの40%が溶出し、土壌中のSrのスクリーニングに無添加の方法が使えることがわかった。無添加の水熱浸出法は、化学分析の第一段階で固体を焼成する必要がないため、土壌中の金属の日常的なモニタリングや緊急時の対応にも応用できる。

原子力施設周辺では、環境試料中の放射化学分析(環境モニタリング)が行われる。環境試料中の$$alpha$$, $$beta$$核種の前処理は、従来、酸を用いて有機物を分解し、$$^{90}$$Sr, U, Pu等の対象核種を抽出する方法で行われている。そこで、酸の代わりに超臨界水を用いた環境に優しい新しい前処理法を開発した。本研究では、茨城県の土壌(黒ボク土)を用いて水熱前処理を行い、放射性Sr及びUの前処理を行った。その結果、Sr及びUの回収率はそれぞれ70%及び40%であった。また得られた回収率は、水の密度との相関関係にあることが分かった。開発した方法により、放射化学分析の前処理法における環境負荷を低減することができる。

In the safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactors, numerical simulations of various thermal-hydraulic phenomena with multicomponent and multiphase flows in core disruptive accidents (CDAs) are regarded as particularly difficult. In the material relocation phase of CDAs, core debris settle down on a core support structure and/or an in-vessel retention device and form a debris bed. The bed's shape is crucial for the subsequent relocation of the molten core and heat removal capability as well as re-criticality. In this study, a hybrid numerical simulation method, coupling the multi-fluid model of the three-dimensional fast reactor safety analysis code SIMMER-IV with the discrete element method (DEM), was applied to analyze the sedimentation and bed formation behaviors of core debris. Three-dimensional simulations were performed and compared with results obtained in a series of particle sedimentation experiments. The present simulation predicts the sedimentation behavior of mixed particles with different properties as well as homogeneous particles. The simulation results on bed shapes and particle distribution in the bed agree well with experimental measurements. They demonstrate the practicality of the present hybrid method to solid particle sedimentation and bed formation behaviors of mixed as well as homogeneous particles.

Interactions between the active components with the support are one of the fundamentally factors in determining the catalytic performance of a catalyst. In this study, we investigated the interaction between CeO$$_{2}$$ and LaFeO$$_{3}$$, the two important oxygen storage materials in catalysis area, by tuning the sizes of CeO$$_{2}$$ particles and highlight a two-fold effect of the strong oxide-oxide interaction in determining the catalytic activity and selectivity for preferential CO oxidation in hydrogen feeds. It is found that the anchoring of ultra-fine CeO$$_{2}$$ particles at the framework of three-dimensional-ordered macroporous LaFeO$$_{3}$$ surface results in a strong interaction between the two oxides that induces the formation of abundant uncoordinated cations and oxygen vacancy at the interface. This discovery demonstrates that in hybrid oxide-based catalysts, tuning the interaction among different components is essential for balancing the catalytic activity and selectivity.

NaYbO$$_2$$ has been reported as a possible host for the quantum spin-liquid state. Here, the composition-dependent polycrystalline Na$$_{1-x}$$YbO$$_2$$ ($$x = 0$$, 0.03, and 0.07) has been investigated by combining high-field magnetizations and inelastic neutron scattering techniques. For the $$x = 0$$ sample, no signature of a magnetic order is observed down to 0.3 K. Inelastic neutron scattering measurement suggests a continuous low-energy excitation spectrum centered at momentum transfer $$(Q) sim 1.25$$~$AA$^{-1}$$ and extending up to energy transfer $$(E) sim 2.0$$~meV. In contrast, $$x = 0.03$$ and 0.07 samples exhibit magnetic transitions at 1.1 and 2.3 K, respectively. High-field magnetization measurements indicate similar behaviors for $$x = 0$$ and 0.03 samples including plateau-like features at the 1/3 saturated magnetization, which implies that the spin disorder in the $$x = 0$$ sample might be suppressed preceding the emergence of the up-up-down phase. This composition- and field-dependent study allows us to construct complete phase diagrams indicating that NaYbO$$_2$$ is a promising candidate for the quantum spin-liquid state in close proximity to the antiferromagnetic instability tuned by the application of magnetic fields as well as controlling the concentration of Na$$^+$$ ion vacancies.

To elucidate retention mechanism of cement waste form for radioactive iodine, this paper investigated interaction mechanism between iodine and ettringite, which is a component mineral of cement and has anion exchange ability. We revealed that ettringite has a high capacity for accommodating IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ via anion substitution for SO$$_{4}$$$$^{2-}$$. The combined iodine K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra and first-principles calculations using density functional theory suggested that IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ was stabilized in ettringite by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces. The bonding charge density analysis of the substituted IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ into the ettringite structure revealed the interaction between intercalated IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ with the structural water molecules. These results provided valuable insight into the long-term stabilization of anionic iodine species and their migration in cementitious nuclear waste repository or alkaline environments.

For the purpose of future visualization of the flow field in superfluid helium-4, clusters of the triplet state excimer $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ are generated along the micro-scale recoil tracks of the neutron-absorption reaction n + $$^{3}$$He $$rightarrow$$ $$^{3}$$T + p. This reaction is induced by neutron irradiation of the $$^{3}$$He fraction contained in natural isotopic abundance liquid helium with neutron beams either from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (J-PARC)/Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility or from the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science. These $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ clusters are expected to be ideal tracers of the normal-fluid component in superfluid helium with several advantageous properties. Evidence of the excimer generation is inferred by detection of laser induced fluorescence emitted from the $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ clusters excited by a purpose-built short pulse gain-switched titanium:sapphire (Ti:sa) laser operating at a wavelength of 905 nm. The setup and performance characteristics of the laser system including the Ti:sa and two continuous wave re-pumping lasers are described. Detection at the fluorescence wavelength of 640 nm is performed by using optical bandpass filtered photomultiplier tubes (PMT). Electrical noise in the PMT acquisition traces could successfully be suppressed by post-processing with a simple algorithm. Despite other laser-related backgrounds, the excimer was clearly identified by its fluorescence decay characteristics. Production of the excimer was found to be proportional to the neutron flux, adjusted via insertion of different collimators into the neutron beam. These observations suggest that the apparatus we constructed does function in the expected manner and, therefore, has the potential for groundbreaking turbulence research with superfluid helium.

The prompt fission $$gamma$$-ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron induced fission of $$^{235}$$U was measured in the energy range $$E_{rm gamma}$$ = 0.8 - 20,MeV, by gaining a factor of about 10$$^{5}$$ in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$4,MeV and $$approx$$6,MeV, and also a broad one at $$approx$$15,MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the $$gamma$$-ray spectra were calculated using a statistical Hauser-Feshbach model, taking into account the de-excitation of all the possible primary fission fragments. It is shown that the bump at $$approx$$4,MeV is created by the transitions between the discrete levels in the fragments around $$^{132}$$Sn, and the bump at $$approx$$6,MeV mostly comes from the complementary light fragments. It is also indicated that a limited number of nuclides, which have high-spin states at low excitation energies, can contribute to the bump structure around $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$15,MeV, induced by the transition feeding into the low-lying high-spin states.

巨大地震に対する原子力プラント等の耐震安全評価に資するため、プラント構造の地震時挙動を把握し現実的応答評価を可能とすることは重要な課題となっている。プラント構造の地震時挙動に大きな影響を与える部位のひとつに接合部が挙げられる。特に部材接合部のモデル化は従来経験的手法に依存しており、ピンまたは剛とみなして保守的な評価がなされてきた。そこで本研究では、接合部の3次元詳細モデルを活用し、より現実的な挙動を再現するための接合部モデル化手法を開発することを最終目的とする。本論文では、その第一歩として、これまでに開発した3次元詳細解析技術を活用し、鉄骨部材からなるプラント構造の接合部を対象として、接合部の有する現実的な剛性等を把握することを目的とする。複雑に組み合わされた部材からなる接合部の3次元詳細モデルを作成し、パラメトリックスタディを行った結果、プラント構造の接合部仕様によっては半剛接合とみなせることを確認し、接合部の現実的な剛性評価のための見通しを得た。得られた成果を原子炉建屋の屋根トラスや排気塔等の鉄骨構造接合部のモデル化に適用することで、プラント耐震安全性の合理的評価が期待される。

For flow visualization study of quantum turbulence in superfluid $$^{4}$$He, $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers are unique tracers which follow only normal-fluid component flow above 1 K. To generate detectable small $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ clouds (clusters) required for full-space velocity field measurements, we have adopted a new method based on neutron absorption reaction of $$^{3}$$He impurities in $$^{4}$$He and conducted proof-of-principle experiments. Generation of the $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers was detected by laser-induced fluorescence using photomultiplier tubes. The fluorescence was observed to increase proportionally to the neutron flux, suggesting that a sufficient amount of $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers were generated by neutrons. We also estimated the number of $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers possibly generated by $$gamma$$-rays and found that the relevant contribution was less than 40%. Thus, the majority of the $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers was confirmed to be generated via n-$$^{3}$$He absorption reactions.
