"R&D Project on Irradiation Damage Management Technology for Structural Materials of Long-life Nuclear Plant" was carried out from FY2006 in a fund of a trust enterprise of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The coupled irradiations or single irradiation by JOYO fast reactor and JRR-3 thermal reactor were performed for about two years. The irradiation specimens are very important materials to establish of "Evaluation of Irradiation Damage Indicator" in this research. For the acquisition of the examination specimens irradiated by the JOYO and JRR-3, we summarized about the overall plan, the work process and the results for the study to utilize these reactors and some facilities of hot laboratory (WASTEF, JMTR-HL, MMF and FMF) of the Oarai Research-and-Development Center and the Nuclear Science Research Institute in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

The pressure effect on the lattice constant of NiO with the rhombohedral distorted B1 structure was studied up to 141 GPa by angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation and an imaging plate, with reference to a recent theoretical calculation within the density-functional formalism with the local-spin density approcximation. The lattice constant and , expressed in the hexagonal lattice, decrease monotonously with increasing pressure. The axial rage decreases monotonously with increasing pressure, indicating the enhancement of the rhombohedral distortion. The signiifcant change of above 60 GPa suggested by the calculation was not observed.
