Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：55.27(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Searching for effective pathways for the production of proton- and neutron-rich isotopes through an optimal combination of reaction mechanism and energy is one of the main driving forces behind experimental and theoretical nuclear reaction studies as well as for practical applications in nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste. We report on a study on incomplete fusion induced by deuteron, which contains one proton and one neutron with a weak binding energy and is easily broken up. This reaction study was achieved by measuring directly the cross sections for both proton and deuteron for 
Pd at 50 MeV/u via inverse kinematics technique. The results provide direct experimental evidence for the onset of a cross-section enhancement at high energy, indicating the potential of incomplete fusion induced by loosely-bound nuclei for creating proton-rich isotopes and nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste.

At J-PARC, 3 GeV proton beam with power of 1MW is delivered to the spallation neutron source (JSNS) through beam transport line called 3NBT. At the high power accelerator facilities even a small abnormal event has a possibility to be critical so that the beam control system is crucial. In order to find tiny anomaly, rapid data analysis system is required. We developed control and data analysis system based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) and Control System Studio (CSS). To carry out beam tuning efficiently, the beam control system based on the Strategic Accelerator Design (SAD) code has been developed. With the several shots of beam and by the one click of operational panel of the screen, required magnet field can be calculated and set automatically. Also we developed automated e-mail system to announce the abnormal event to the experts persons. With these systems, we can reduce both beam tuning time and down time.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：36.88(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The stress and temperature dependence of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa has been investigated by neutron diffraction measurements under compressive stress to clarify the structural relationship among the P-, I-, M- and X-phases. The structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa depends strongly on stress and temperature compared to the M- or I-phase. In association with the X 
M transformation, both the position and intensity of the satellite reflection changes drastically, regardless of stress and temperature, while with X P transformation, the intensity of the satellite reflection fades gradually. For the I X transformation, the position and intensity of the satellite changes drastically when transformation occur under compressive stress, while the changes are continuous under zero stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of a multicritical point in NiMnGa.

We have investigated stress and temperature dependences of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa to understand structural relation between the X-phase and other phases. We found that the structure change associated with the transformation from the intermediate (I-) phase to the X-phase is discontinuous under a compressive stress, while it is continuous under zero stress. In addition, the transformation from the X-phase to the L2
-type parent phase is continuous regardless of applied stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of multi-critical point in NiMnGa.

The volume reduction treatment of solid waste system by ultra-high frequency induction furnace (UHFIF) was developed from FY2005 to FY2007. Basic data for melting performance were collected by non-radioactive experiments using the bench scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 10 liters. Based on the obtained data, engineering specifications were evaluated for a demonstration scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 30 liters. A new demonstration scale UHFIF was constructed and melting experiments of surrogate wastes were carried out by this furnace. It was confirmed that the demonstration scale UHFIF can melt ferrous metal, ceramics and aluminum all together and stabilize aluminum by oxidation to alumina. Density, chemical composition, and surface condition of the solidified substances were analyzed, and homogeneity of the solidified substances was confirmed. Melting behavior in the demonstration scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation and simulation results agreed well with the experimental ones. From the design study for a full scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 100 liters, basic specifications were evaluated for the full scale UHFIF. Based on the obtained specification, melting behavior in the full scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) performs the comprehensive research program to better understand behavior of high burnup fuels under accident conditions. The high burnup fuel cladding fails by mechanical interaction with fuel pellets under RIA conditions. The failure threshold reduces with increasing burnup. The information has been accumulated on failure mechanism from mechanical property tests and computer code analysis as well as on the failure threshold from the NSRR experiments. Regarding fuel behavior in a LOCA, JAEA has obtained data on oxidation kinetics and fracture threshold and evaluated the high burnup effects. JAEA continues researches for clarifying fuel failure mechanism and improving safety evaluation methodologies.

High burnup PWR fuel rods includes hydride rims that hydride accumulate the periphery of the rods. NSRR experiments of the fuels indicate that hydride rims plays a role of an initial crack of RIA failure behavior. In order to clarify the influence of interior hydrides other than the rims about RIA failure behavior, hydrided RAG (Roll after Grooving) fabricated fuel rods were performed with EDC (Expansion Due to Compression) experiments. Stress intensity factor analyses indicate that in case the radially-oriented hydrides are precipitated at the tip of the pre-crack, the stress state of the matrix at the tip of the hydrides is the same.

The hydride Precipitation occurs due to absorption of hydrogen and its oxidation in the high burn-up fuel cladding. The hydride precipitated densely near the outer surface of the cladding could be considered the origin of the crack growth its own brittle property. RAG (Roll After Grooving) has been developed to simulate the outer surface of hydride precipitation on the origin of the crack. The fracture behavior was evaluated to define the effect of origin of the crack compared with milled cladding by EDC (Expansion Due to Compression) test. The crack extension occurred in smaller circumferential strain on RAG cladding than milled cladding. It was shown that RAG can simulate the crack growth of outer surface hydride cracking.

To confirm the reactor safety design, safety reviews are performed under accident conditions as well as under normal operation conditions. One of such design basis accidents is the reactivity-initiated accident (RIA); a reactor excursion typically caused by rapid ejection of the control rod. In case of high burnup fuel, mechanical failure of corroded cladding can occur due to the rapid thermal expansion of fuel pellet. Cladding mechanical test is effective to evaluate the failure limit, but the conventional tests using axial tension or hydraulic pressure cannot represent the biaxial stress state during RIA, which is generated in the cladding chemically bonded with the fuel pellet. Therefore, the biaxial stress testing apparatus was developed, which simulates the stress condition in RIA by the simultaneous axial load and hydraulic pressurization. Mechanical properties of zircaloy-4 cladding are being acquired with the apparatus to improve the accuracy of fuel failure limit evaluation.

The stress condition of the cladding tube of high burnup fuel is complicated under RIA (Reactivity Initiated Accident) condition because fuel pellet and cladding bond significantly in high burnup fuel. The stress condition becomes biaxial under such condition due to the isotropy of pellet thermal expansion. We have developed a biaxial stress testing machine which can control the axial and circumferential stresses independently and evaluate the mechanical and fracture behaviors of cladding tube under biaxial stress condition. This report describes the outline of the experiment using this equipment and the test results obtained under several biaxial stress conditions at room temperature.
