The results demonstrate that distribution coefficients (
) of Rf in HF/0.10 M HNO
decrease with increasing concentration of the fluoride ion [F
], indicating the consecutive formation of fluorido complexes of Rf. We also measured the
values of Rf and the homologues as a function of the hydrogen ion concentration [H
]. The log
values decrease linearly with an increase of log [H
] with slopes between -2.1 and -2.5. This indicates that these elements are likely to form the same chemical compounds: mixture of [MF]
and [MF

The extraction behavior of rutherfordium (Rf) into trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) from 2.0 - 7.0 M HCl solution was studied together with that of the homologues Zr and Hf. The extracted yields of Rf, Zr, and Hf increased with an increase of HCl concentration, and the sequence of their extraction was Zr Hf
Rf. It is suggested that the stability of the RfCl
2(TOPO) complex is lower than that of the corresponding species of the homologues.

The complexes of Zr and Hf successively vary with the concentration of HCl from a hydrated complex [M(HO)
]
at 8.0 M to a hexachloro complex [MCl

at 11.9 M (M = Zr and Hf). The present structural changes of the Zr and Hf complexes well reflect the previously studied anion-exchange behavior of Zr and Hf in HCl. From both the EXAFS and anion-exchange results, we suggest that Rf forms the same complexes as those of Zr and Hf in HCl, and that the complexation strength of the hexachloro complexes of the group-4 elements, [MCl

(M = Zr, Hf, and Rf), is in the sequence of Rf

J-PARC is a large scale facility of the proton accelerators for the multi-purpose of scientific researches in Japan. This facility consists of three accelerators and three experimental stations. Now, J-PARC is under construction, and LINAC is operated for one year, 3GeV synchrotron has just started the commissioning in this October the 1st. The completion of this facility will be next summer. The control system of accelerators established fundamental performance for the initial commissioning. The most important requirement to the control system of this facility is to minimize the activation of accelerator devices. In this paper, we show that the performances of each layer of this control system have been achieved in the initial stage.
