The Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory (URL) Project is being pursued by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) to enhance the reliability of relevant disposal technologies for geological disposal of High-level Radioactive Waste through investigations of the deep geological environment within the host sedimentary rock at Horonobe Town in Hokkaido, north Japan. The investigations will be conducted in three phases, namely "Phase 1: Surface based investigations", "Phase 2: Construction phase" (investigations during construction of the underground facilities) and "Phase 3: Operation phase" (research in the underground facilities). According to the research plan described in the 3rd Mid- and Long- term Plan of JAEA, "Near-field performance study", "Demonstration of repository design option", and "Verification of crustal-movement buffering capacity of sedimentary rocks" are important issues of the Horonobe URL Project, and schedule of future research and backfill plans of the project will be decided by the end of 2019 Fiscal Year. The present report summarizes the research and development activities of these 3 important issues carried out during 3rd Medium to Long-term Research Phase.

) knockout reactions at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, RIKEN. Level schemes were reconstructed using the 
coincidence technique, with tentative spin-parity assignments based on the measured inclusive and exclusive cross sections. Comparison with shell-model calculations suggests coexistence of spherical and deformed shapes at low excitation energies in the Co isotopes.

Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：70.24(Physics, Nuclear)The nuclear structure of the Ni nucleus was investigated by (,) reaction using a NaI(Tl) array to detect the deexciting prompt 
rays. A new transition with an energy of 2227 keV was identified by 
and 
coincidences. Our shell-model calculations using the Lenzi, Nowacki, Poves, and Sieja interaction produced good candidates for the experimental proton hole states in the observed energy region, and the theoretical cross sections showed good agreement with the experimental values. Although we could not assign all the experimental states to the theoretical ones unambiguously, the results are consistent with a reasonably large Z = 28 shell gap for nickel isotopes in accordance with previous studies.

Ca, Sc, and 
Ti at the RIBF facility in RIKEN, and its deexcited rays are observed for the first time. The first 
level in Ar is identified to lie at 1178(18)keV from the most intense -ray spectra. This experimental data, together with the systematics of the levels for surrounding nuclei, is analyzed with large-scale shell-model calculations. Consequently, the 
sub-shell gap in Ar is equivalent to that of 
Ca, thus making the level in Ar higher than that of 
Ar. The shell-model calculation also predicts that the sub-shell gap enhances in going from Ca to Ar, which will be verified by forthcoming experiments for Ar.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Physics, Condensed Matter)The magnetic ground state of (CuCl)LaNb
O has been suggested to be a spin-singlet state with an excitation gap of 
meV, while (CuCl)LaTaO has an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state. The systems are suspected to be a frustrated quantum spin system due to the competition between the nearest and next-nearest exchange interactions. We have studied magnetic excitation in these systems by ToF inelastic neutron scattering technique. The measurements were performed on powder samples of (CuCl)LaNbO and (CuCl)LaTaO at a disk-chopper-type spectrometer AMATERAS in J-PARC. In both systems, a band-like excitation was observed at 
meV. The 
dependence of the intensity of magnetic excitation around 2 meV for (CuCl)LaNbO well reproduces that observed at a triple-axis spectrometer, exhibiting characteristics of spin-singlet dimers. On the other hand, (CuCl)LaTaO in the AFM state exhibits a different dependence.

Soft-type neutron shielding resin has been developed by improving an existing hard-type neutron shielding material by the epoxy-based resin as the additional shielding material. A flexible heat resistant neutron shielding material has been developed, which consists of newly polymer-based resin with boron. The neutron shielding performance of the developed flexible heat resistant resin by the Cf neutron source is almost the same as that of the polyethylene. The outgas of H, H, NH
, HO, CO, O, CH
and CO from the developed resin have been measured at high temperature environment (250C) by thermal desorption spectroscopy methods. The soft-type resin and the newly developed heat resistant resin will be applied to prevent the effects of the neutron streaming and to control the movement of vibrated pipe as the seal material around the plumbing in the future fast reactor and the innovative fission reactor.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：38.49(Nuclear Science & Technology)The conceptual design of JT-60SA cryostat is summarized. JT-60SA is designed to be a fully superconducting device and assumed deuterium operation, therefore a cryostat is introduced to secure three functions, which are thermal insulation for entire superconducting magnets, bio-shielding, and gravity support for the entire tokamak device. The cryostat is required to cover up the tokamak devices, which are 15 m of total height and 7 m of radius, and to support the total devices weight of 2550 tons. The cryostat consists of vessel body, gravity support and auxiliary facilities, such as 80 K thermal shield and exhaust system. Each of them is outlined with JT-60SA design conditions, and the operational condition of auxiliary system is clarified, especially, capacity of the exhaust system, which is related to the 80 K thermal shield design.
