In collaboration with the Japan Safeguards Office, the Nuclear Material Control Centre, and the JAEA, the IAEA Department of Safeguards is implementing a new neutron detector system for the verification of plutonium hold-up in process gloveboxes at MOX fuel fabrication facilities in Japan. The previous verification technique utilised the so-called Super Glove Box Assay System (SBAS), which, while capable of detecting partial defects, is a heavy and bulky detector system that requires both significant operator support for safe assembly and positioning, and long measurement times. The recent development of a detector system based on two Plutonium Neutron Coincidence Collar (PNCL) miniature neutron slabs provides the capability of detecting gross defects with semi-quantitative plutonium mass measurement, and is sufficient in respect to inspections for timeliness purposes. For regular use, the Mini-slab detector offers several advantages, including improved safety, reduced operator support requirements and shorter measurement times. The Mini-slab detector satisfies the required verification role with a quarter of the inspector-days compared to SBAS. Furthermore, it has the capability to measure in tighter spaces, with the need for such use expected to grow as parts of these facilities begin decommissioning.

-ray spectroscopy at the ISOLDE Decay Station. The presented level scheme contains 27 new excited states and 43 new transitions, as well as a further 50 previously observed rays which have been (re)assigned a position. Through the analysis using the shell model calculations approximately half of the -decay strength of At is found to proceed via allowed decay and half via first-forbidden decay. The first-forbidden transitions predominantly populate core excited states at high excitation energies, which is qualitatively understood using shell model considerations.

Z-selective ionization by the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) coupled to mass separation provided a high-purity beam of Tl. Fine-structure decays to excited levels in the daughter 
Au were identified and an -decay scheme of Tl was constructed based on an analysis of - and - - coincidences. Multipolarities of several -ray transitions deexciting levels in Au were determined. Based on the analysis of reduced -decay widths, it was found that all decays are hindered, which signifies a change of configuration between the parent and all daughter states.

This paper describes the design and implementation of the Switching Network Unit (SNU) for the superconducting Central Solenoid coils of the international nuclear fusion experiment JT-60SA to be built in Naka, Japan. The SNU can interrupt a current up to 20 kA in less than 1 ms to create a voltage up to 5 kV. It is realized with a hybrid switch integrating an electro-mechanical device and a solid state Static Circuit Breaker, parallel connected. SNU resistance can be pre-arranged and dynamically reduced by a solid state making switch. Preliminary test results confirmed the current balance of the multiple parallel branches constituting the solid state switch and proper behavior of the devices, confirming simulations results. Further applications could be medium voltage DC networks (either naval or land based); higher DC voltages are practicable.

The experiment was performed by producing a pure beam of Tl by means of highly selective resonance laser ionization followed by mass separation with the ISOLDE isotope separator. A surprising asymmetric mass distribution of fission fragments from Hg, the daughter of Tl decays, was obtained. Here, the energy calibration of the silicon detectors, which is crucial for a proper determination of the fission fragments' energy and mass split, is presented and the total kinetic energy and its dependence on the mass split ratio is discussed. A more precise -delayed fission probability of 3.2(2)10

U target nucleus at the energies around the Coulomb barrier. We observed strong variation of the fragment mass distribution with incident energy, which was explained by an energy dependence of the probabilities for fusion and quasifission. A calculation based on a fluctuation-dissipation model was carried out to determine the fusion probability in the reactions of 
Si+U and 
S+U. The fusion probabilities were consistent with those determied from the evaporation residue cross sections for both reactions, showing that in-beam fission measurement and analysis can give a reasonable estimation for the cross sections to produce super-heavy nuclei. We also discss the results for in-beam fission measurement of

被引用回数：209 パーセンタイル：97.30(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A very exotic process of -delayed fission of Tl is studied in detail by using resonant laser ionization with subsequent mass separation at ISOLDE (CERN). In contrast to common expectations, the fission-fragment mass distribution of the post--decay daughter nucleus Hg (
/ = 1.25) is asymmetric. This asymmetry is more surprising since a mass-symmetric split of this extremely neutron-deficient nucleus would lead to two Zr fragments, with magic = 50 and semi-magic = 40. This is a new type of asymmetric fission, not caused by large shell effects related to fragment magic proton and neutron numbers, as observed in the actinide region. The newly-measured branching ratio for -delayed fission of Tl is 3.6(7)10 %.

It was found that the distribution of symmetric mass fragments originates not only from fusion-fission, but has a strong component from quasifission. This result significantly influences the interpretation of data obtained from measurements of symmetric mass distributions with respect to extracting evaporation residue cross-sections.

The effects of the orientation of the deformed U target nuclei were investigated in the reaction of Si+U. The cross-sections of the system to overcome the Coulomb barrier were determined by measuring the fission cross-sections at JAEA-tandem accelerator, from which the Coulomb barrier height for the collision of Si to the polar side and the equatorial side of U were determined. The evaporation residue (ER) cross-sections were determined at the velocity filter SHIP of GSI. Significant enhancement of the cross-sections of Sg(4n) in the sub-barrier energy indicates the lowering of the Coulomb barrier at the Polar collisions. However, competition between fusion and quasifission was implied. The cross-sections for 
Sg(5n) measured at the above barrier energy indicated that there is no significant fusion hindrance at the equatorial collisions. In this contribution, the systematic behavior of the orientation effects of U is discussed by using additionally the data of 
O+U and Ca+U.

Effects of the prolate deformation of U on fusion were studied in the reaction Si + U at bombarding energies close to the Coulomb barrier. The fission cross section was measured at JAEA tandem accelerator to see the enhancement of the cross section in the subbarrier energy due to the lowering of the Coulomb barrier at the collision of the projectile to polar side of U. Evaporation residue cross sections were measured at UNILAC of GSI by using the velocity filter SHIP to determine the fusion probability. In the subbarrier region, we could produce isotope Sg by 4n channel, but fusion hindrance was implied in the analysis. At above barrier energies, we produced Sg by 5n channel. The analysis suggests that there is no fusion hindrance at the equatorial collisions.
