被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：65.59(Instruments & Instrumentation)An electrostatic time-of-flight detector named E-MCP has been developed for quick diagnostics of circulating beam and timing measurement in mass spectrometry at the Rare-RI Ring in RIKEN. The E-MCP detector consists of a conversion foil, potential grids, and a microchannel plate. Secondary electrons are released from the surface of the foil when a heavy ion hits it. The electrons are accelerated and deflected by 90
toward the microchannel plate by electrostatic potentials. A thin carbon foil and a thin aluminum-coated mylar foil were used as conversion foils. We obtained time resolutions of 69(1) ps and 43(1) ps (standard deviation) for a 
Kr beam at an energy of 170 MeV/u when using the carbon and the aluminum-coated mylar foils, respectively. A detection efficiency of approximately 90% was obtained for both foils. The E-MCP detector equipped with the carbon foil was installed inside the Rare-RI Ring to confirm particle circulation within a demonstration experiment on mass measurements of nuclei around 
Ge produced by in-flight fission of uranium beam at the RI Beam Factory in RIKEN. Periodic time signals from circulating ions were clearly observed. Revolution times for Ge, 
Ga, and 
Zn were obtained. The results confirmed successful circulation of the short-lived nuclei inside the Rare-RI Ring.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：11.95(Engineering, Mechanical)This paper describes a failure analysis procedure used in leak before break assessment of large sodium pipes in Japan sodium cooled fast reactor made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel. Since the steel has small thermal expansion rate and excellent high temperature strength, a simplified piping layout can be achieved. However, the fracture toughness of the steel is relatively smaller than that of the austenitic stainless steel used for many former FBR pipes. For this reason, a sophisticated LBB assessment is required for the pipes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel. Since the internal pressure of the pipes of JSFR is small, the thermal load caused by thermal expansion is predominant. Supposing a through wall crack in such piping system, the stiffness of the crack part will decrease with crack extension. The rational failure analysis procedure, evaluating the loading conditions at a crack part considering change of compliance of the piping system by a crack, was proposed. Using some experimental results, the validity of the analysis procedure was verified. Finally, the critical crack size was calculated for designed JSFR pipes. It was clarified that the proposed procedure was much effective to loosen LBB conditions for JSFR piping system.

This paper describes a crack opening displacement (COD) assessment procedure used in Leak-Before-Break (LBB) assessment of sodium pipes of the Japan Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR). The sodium pipes are made of ASME Gr.91 (modified 9Cr-1Mo steel). Thickness of the pipes is small, because the internal pressure is very low. Modified 9Cr-1Mo steel has a relatively large yield stress and small work hardening coefficient comparing to the austenitic stainless steels which are currently used in the conventional plants. For LBB assessment, the coolant leak rate from a through wall crack must be estimated properly. Since the leak rate is strongly related to the crack opening displacement (COD), an appropriate COD assessment method must be established to perform LBB assessment. However, COD assessment method applicable for JSFR sodium pipes - thin wall and small work hardening material - has not been proposed yet. Taking non-linearity of the material and the geometry of JSFR pipes, a series of finite element analyses (FEA) for the pipe containing a circumferential through-wall crack was conducted. Based on the parametric FEA results, engineering formulae for COD evaluation were established. Analytical results were compared to some experimental results. The calculated COD was in a good agreement with the observations.
